This is a recent optiplex 755 from dell. I installed it with etchandahalf. It came with the following versions: xorg 1:7.1.0-19 xserver-xorg 1:7.1.0-19 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-21etch5 CTRL-ALT-Fn sort of worked. When returning to the graphical environment the colors were mixed up. Then I upgraded to the following versions xorg 1:7.3+16 xserver-xorg 1:7.3+16 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.2-5 Which resulted in the symptoms I described. -- Antoon Pardon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
