As a long time linux user but a new debian user, I installed Woody, then upgraded to sid for the first time yesterday on an IBM X20 with Lucent orinoco card. Everything works great except one thing I haven't figured out yet. When I leave X, the screen goes blank and I can't get it back without restarting X or rebooting, so I can't get back to text mode once I run X. Probably something with the framebuffer stuff. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
