-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thank you Jaime for the assurance.
There are two other flys in the ointment, to wit: a) ndiswrapper (needed for the Broadcom BCM4318 Wireless LAN Controller b) fglrx-driver (needed for the ATI video chip On the most recent up-date, I had to compile the ndiswrapper from source because the kernel also was updated. I have learned (learnt - UK :-) that compiling drivers works easily with the header files. I had no success trying with the full kernel source. (not something I do everyday). On a previous up-date xorg must have been involved, because in this most recent up-date, the fglrx-driver continued to work. Now, I see there is a major revision to xorg which seems to include free drivers (dfsg) for the ATI chip. There is a warning that the free drivers do not provide 3D (what ever that is). So, I may not need to compile a new fglrx-driver from the ATI sources anyhow. Well, we shall see. There is another hour or so of download before the fun starts. fgd.
