Hi Dave :)
I run TorK with Suse 10.3. Tor is fine, but browsing is very slow, even
with the minimum of tor servers. Mixminon isn't credible, sometimes
mails won't reach the recipient. By the way, there is an add-on for
Thunderbird (Iceweasel) called Torbutton. Until now I only run TorK with
Lenny, but didn't connect to tor, so I don't know if it's fine.
I'm having a pause from working on my Lenny, at the moment I'm watching
TV, resp. I take a look at some things and I'm writing this mail ;).

This problem seems to be widespread in threads in forums, but until now
I didn't find a solution for Lenny and ATI.
Hm, mesa-swx11-source might be a source, that might be used by the
proprietary installer and that provides GLcore, I will try this later,
after watching TV. I have to download the installer again.
Cheers,
Ralf
PS: The problem that either the USB-MIDI or the TerraTec sound card is
fine might be emerge since I changed from vesa to fglrx, the ATI driver.
I'll have to check out if this is the problem.
