Re: UltraHD installation: mouse not working in graphical install
Hi Eugen, Eugen Dedu eugen.d...@univ-fcomte.fr (2014-11-21): I am installing debian amd64 on a Lenovo Y50 with UltraHD 3840x2160 resolution. I use today's debian-testing...iso from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd. I chose graphical install. I am at step entering root password, still the trackpad mouse has not been working: it is at the center of the screen, but cannot be moved. It would be quite useful to turn your mails into proper bug reports, see: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s04.html.en#problem-report I don't think we can do much about the font size issues; it'd probably make sense to allow installing something along with the installation medium (and I think some people are actually doing so). But this particular touchpad issue would probably be easier to track down with syslog and friends. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I don't think we can do much about the font size issues; except making the graphical install the default :) Ain't that the case? I tested also with graphical install. The very first screen, presenting Install, Graphical install etc. is shown graphically and at visually good size. After choosing graphical install, the screen goes indeed graphical, but the fonts are as small as the newt frontend, i.e. very hard to read!! This is a somehow important problem, since nothing can be done to workaround it. The installer is also the first program a new user sees when installing linux.
