Hey guys,
I'm considering installing the 'udev' package as part of my Sarge 2.6
installation. My motivation is that I'm often baffled when trying to
figure out which USB device is associated with USB devices I plug in.

What did you have to do to get it to work with the nvidia driver?
Thanks,

As I had written earlier, just put "nvidia" in /etc/modules and it will

I have it on my machine with a custom logo on bootup. I tho
This may sound like a dumb question but should one apply debian kernel
patches to a Debian source kernel before compiling one? e.g. I am right
now working on kernel source of 2.6.9. Are the patches included in this
source or should I select and install the ones listed by:

I discovered today that for some reason my xcdroast had been removed. I
was a bit surprised since I never removed it myself.
Anyhow, I reinstalled it using dselect and tried to configure it. During
installation I told it NOT to use SCSI emulation and NOT to make
/dev/sg? devices.

Just wondering how to check temperature on my desktop. On a laptop I use
"acpi -V" to see the temperaute.
I was checking my desktop's(running Debian Sarge and kernel 2.6.9)

insert my USB stick into a USB port it is shown as an icon on the
desktop which dissa
I installed sensord a couple of days ago and since then I am getting
these messages repeatedly and I am not sure what to make of them. Should
I be worried? If not, then how can I stop these messages(apart from
uninstalling sensord)? If yes, what could be wrong?

Hi. I have an IBM thinkpad and I installed Debian on it and got a
daemon called sleepd -- however it wants a command to actually put the
machine to sleep. Its default was apm -s which of course never worked
because the machine is an acpi machine.
