many debian packages have documentation in /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGENAME and often there is a README.Debian (or similar names) with debian specific post-installation instructions. > new session for a new user and I still have the same > small cursors and mouse pointers. you do not need a new "session" but a new istance of the X server (or possibly not, as the above file explains). If you are using gdm / kdm / xdm / wdm ... (as opposed to startx), then a logout does NOT start a new istance of the X server, since the display manager ?dm keeps alive the old istance of X. You can restart the display manager /etc/init.d/gdm restart and/or kill the X server (and so lose all unsaved data in your session) from the X server itself (unless disabled in xorg.conf): <alt><ctrl><backspace> with a console command: killall X and/or log in in console and manually start a new X istance: startx -- :1 -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
