Hi, dear all Debian user,

I have a few questions regarding the Debian Sid installation, missing
xorg.conf and functionality of Compiz.

1. I installed a few days ago the Sid (using businesscard iso) in my Dell
Inspiron 9300 laptop. More or less everything seems OK. There're 2 problems
though that I can see immediately after the installation.

One thing is that my touchpad didn't work 100%. I mean I can move the mouse
point and the horizontal and vertical scroll bar work fine but I CANNOT use
"touch" for click. I had to click the 2 buttons below the touchpad for that.
It's not a big problem but it's annoying. Can anyone helps to solve this
problem?

The other thing is that the installation didn't recognize my Windows OS.
Well, it did says during the installation that there's Windows OS on the
hard drive so I installed grub in MBR but grub didn't pick the windows up
when I rebooted the PC. I had to manually enable it after googling around.
Is this a bug? Anyway, I'm pretty new so I don't know how to report a bug
even if it is. So just a comment here.


2. I installed compiz compizconfig-settings-manager
compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-gnome compiz-gtk and some extra fusion
packages (and of course, the Nvidia drive). However when I open CCSM and
enabled some nice shiny animates it didn't work at all. there's compiz wiki
http://wiki.debian.org/Compiz saying you have to edit xorg.conf manually.
Until then I found out that I don't even have this file. Should I manually
write one? but how? I tried to create a xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and copy+paste
the paragraph from that wiki, and then "compiz --replace " with and without
sudo, no luck. after rebooting, ooops, no gnome desktop anymore. after
deleting the file everything went back as before. But I really like some of
the compiz functions such as scale addons and Expo  for quick picking up the
windows. Any help here please?

by the way, I installed nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-5-486, there's another with
name nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-5-686. No idea what's the difference.

Thanks,
