Use linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7 or use AMD64 port of debian. then use linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8 But you have to reinstall the whole thing, just installing the amd64 kernel is not enough.

It is a _very_ good idea to find the exact specs for your monitor and stick within those.
Re: amd64-archive update
I was about to set up a chroot environment to run 32 bit applications, when I came across Matthieu's amd64-archive announcement. Thanks to Matthieu, I now have a flash enabled browser and openoffice, with almost no pain. I do have a couple of questions: 1. I am running unstable, and Matthieu's packages seem to be for stable. Is there a similar package for unstable? The biggest difference would be a newer version of Openoffice. 2. There is one program that I use that I need to run under wine. Could wine be added to these packages? Once again thanks for doing this, and for having easy to follow instructions Matthieu. Bill
Splashy on AMD64
Hello, Splashy gives you a nice graphical display and progress bar as your system boots. https://alioth.debian.org/projects/splashy/ I was able to get it to compile, install and run on my dual AMD64 machine - and the fix was posted to svn. svn co svn://svn.debian.org/splashy cd splashy/ cp -a trunk splashy-0.1.8.svn2 cp -a trunk splashy-0.1.8.svn2.orig cd splashy-0.1.8.svn2 ./autogen.sh --prefix=/ debuild -uc -us sudo dpkg -i ../splashy_0.1.8.svn2_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i ../splashy-themes_0.1.8.svn2_all.deb I like the debian3 theme, so I sym linked it as the default theme: cd /etc/splasy/themes/ sudo rm -rf default sudo ln -s debian3 default There is a command line to see what the theme will look like without having to reboot. Press F2 to exit: sudo splashy test There is one small problem which maybe someone here can help with: the background image shows OK for a few seconds then blanks out while the system is booting; however, the progress bar continues to operate as it should until GDM takes over. Things would be perfect if the background image would not blank out. Maybe it's just me? Could someone else please install and as see if you get the same behavior? Thanks. -- Tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Change notebook features (linux compatibles) for a modem it's not the top. However a great number of notebook for different marks has these "soft modems".
