The graphics card is a 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) and the kernel is 2.6.32-5-686 (I had 2.6.32-3 after my first upgrade and then it completely locked up X but with -5 I can at least run X like this from console). My xorg.conf file does not exist. Cheers, Óli -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
