But, you can over do it. All of the 'hackers' I know won't sit outside your house trying to crack your WEP to get your eBay password etc. One of the simplest things you can do to keep people off your bandwidth is switch your router off when you're not going to use it.

You can reconfigure the X11 file using, if I remember the code right, sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg this takes you through a question and answer session that will write you a new xorg.conf at the end.

Though I did once try using the object tag with audio, it played the audio in FireFox, but offered no way of controlling it. I don't see why sites can't just have a link to the video file instead of using a program they wrote in between. Isn't flash going to eat more CPU, isn't it interpreted not compiled? Media is one of the areas where CPU speed is still a factor. If more people complained sites wouldn't do things like this. It would also be useful if video could be embeded in a HTML page and the browser could do what is needed with it (i.e. display it inline with controls or pass it to an external application). Writing to them, or rather, dropping an email, is a good idea. Just done it.

Before you do that, have you had a go at sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver xorg? Sometimes that's all you need. Also, have a look at your xorg.conf file and see if you can spot the problem.

If nothing is found, it is really helpful to report the issue! That way they can be fixed ASAP. problems with suspend to RAM are related to acpi-support. AFAIK however, it is impossible that suspend to ram was working out of the box on your laptop: suspend to ram has always been disabled by default in /etc/default/acpi-support and required editing that file to activate it. did you do anything to that file? What response did you give when it asked if you wanted to replace it while upgrading? These are all useful questions to answer in a bug report. Weirdly it was working without me having to edit files. I just hit the, 'standby' button and it did. When asked by upgrade if I wanted to keep or replace I opted to keep my version of acpi-support.
