In My recent upgrade, Xorg was unninstalled due to the dependecy problems I had.

I use Debian on my notebook since Etch, withou never doing a clean install, Just upgrading. For Lenny, I have waited for the release to upgrade, what makes thigs a little easier. But now I was to much anxious to wait for Squeeze (cause of kde4, ooo, etc...). The only problems was by not upgrading the kernel first, but now it's everthing working fine. :) > I have been avoiding hardware that isn't mainstream. Unfortunately, that not always possible. Mainly for notebooks. But upgrading to a new kernel, boot it, and then install every module needed before full-upgrade is not a pain. For me, my only problem was madwifi. But I had just to unninstall it and use the new kernel ath5k module (that didn't work in my old kernel). Any additional modules that I need could be installed easy by m-a. __ Paulo Diovani Gonçalves http://diovani.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
