So I decided to go the upgade way. I install everything from testing I still do not understand why backports would just update part of the virtualbox package... Of course this resulted in a update of the kernel of course upon reboot I had to install the nvidia driver of course the nvidia driver from testing was busted, I could not even get it to compile of couse when getting nvidia from unstable and module-assistantm startx would not load of course sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg of course using nvidia-xconfig did not work restarting without nvidia searching on the net I found the Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" trick and now I am all set with my kernel from testingm nvidia and Xserver which decided that my keymap was QWERTY thank god the virtual console were ok so that I could do all the above... I need now to find hoz to revert back to azerty now -- Mathieu Ps virtualbox now starts my winxp without complains -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
