Actually, and I am putting one answer here for more than one post in an

Hey again!
Not sure about Ubuntu studio, it depends on how much it is based on Ubuntu.
Can't you stack up on the special Ubuntu Studio packages, once you've
installed a normal Ubuntu? I have the feeling, that a friend of mine recently
did so.

Hi!
Harsh words Ralf. :-)
OK, I never installed Debian myself using the install disks. But a friend
did it. Debian does support blidn users. I don't know about the graphical
install exactly, since we prefer the text based version. But I think they
might. There is an Orca package for Debian
Sorry for the haste!
Ubuntu seems to be a good alternative. I certainly have seen it mentioned a
couple of times on the Orca mailinglist.
Warm regards
Julien

From what I remember, Ubuntu in this case is better than a pure Debian, if you
need the graphics. If you don't: Debian has much more to offer to me as a blnd
user and it's more stable. :-)

The question is whether it's possible to install squeeze from a wheezy
netinstall.iso, or vice-versa.

That I don't know. If it answers the question,
I believe the problem comes from an incompatibility between FGLRX

I've had the same symptoms and solved it by downgrading xorg to

Thanks for the feedback. Will try out and feedback the result.
