The 2:2.1.1-4 package is available from: http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/09/17/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/ Could you also try 2:2.1.99-1 to see if it was broken too? http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/11/14/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/ It looks like your computer uses VGA-1 instead of VGA, it's the second time I see this. I should talk to the upstream guys about it. Anyway, could you try changing your modeline into something else? For instance [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead? (use gtf to get the corresponding modeline). Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
