I'm not a developer and I'd just like to point a few issues to check for the next release. I'm planning to switch to Debian when Etch comes out but, for now, my findings are from Knoppix.
My monitor, a Viewsonic VX922, is not set correctly. Il looks OK but, when a 1280x1024 image is downloaded it fits more than the screen. I now use a file made by PCLinuxOS whcih is correct. Here are the two sections that I copied in my XF86Config file: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS" Driver "ati" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "VX922" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "ATI Technologies, Inc.

It seems the installation program doesn't find the driver. There are two keyboards used in Quebec, Canada. The oldest is called CF and a newer one is called CA, with which it's possible to write accented letters such as "à è ç" in just one stroke. I use the the CA keyboard and choosing it in KDE used to be very straightforward. In the latest version of KDE, though, the CA keyboard has disappered and the CF keyboard has been renamed CA. So all distros using KDE have the same problem and I can't find my keyboard anymore. If this is not plain sabotage, tell me what it is. Regards!
