I am currently using the php-gd package as a supplement to PHP4. It doesn't have gif/jpg support; only png support. I was wondering if there were unofficial packages with the gif/jpg support, or perhaps another solution besides recompiling php from scratch. Thanks. --Paul Paul Barton

The problem with debians (at least woody) version of GDM is that it is configured to run in the next free Vitual Terminal. stating it to run on vt7 in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf (very bottom) will prevent the conflicts with the keyboard so that it will work under runlevel two on vt7. Hope this fixes people
