Yes, but I asked if the hang also happens when you launch an app other that Synaptic ;-) >> >>Mmm... what's dmesg output when you connect a card?

There are already some bug reports opened for this problem in Debian BTS (yes, against the kernel package, that is, "linux-image"), you can add your comments there instead opening a new one. >> > The last time I tried to install nouveau, it tried to remove all >> > nvidia packages, and after that, it didn't work - black screen, no >> > output, no X, no console.

It's the most "clean" method to try out this. Dealing with VGA drivers has become a bit annoying nowadays, in the past we only had to edit one line at the /"etc/X11/xorg.conf" file and all was done :-) >> >>> Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list. >> >> >> Sorry, I can't :-( >> >> > I had to search this on a weird forum, but at least I found it.

You can also read/post to this mailing list by means of a newsreader and nntp news server (no Google Groups), like I do, which does not require you to subscribe to the list and you don't need to store messages in your hard disk :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
