Hi there,
the current problem with the new Xorg and the NVIDIA legacy driver and
the progress of the nouveau driver let me think about removing the
another last proprietary package on my systems. Please tell me of your

I have always had issues suspending, hibernating and user switching if

I'm running it on a thinkpad t61, and I'm quite satisfied. I've got

Install xf86-video-ati, the vesa driver you're using now is limited to
