Thanks for the explanation, now everything is way clearer! :-) > They will be available soon. And indeed they became available, while I was striving to find the time to test version 4.8.5-1: here's the outcome, I installed the new linux image from unstable (aptitude -t unstable install linux-image-686) and rebooted. I can confirm that version 4.8.5-1 works correctly. So, as far as I am *personally* concerned, this bug may be closed as fixed in version 4.8.5-1 and/or forcemerged with #841850. Thanks a lot for your assistance and helpfulness! Bye. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
