Liam's point appeared to be that if anyone (me) is stupid enough to be still using "squeeze", then they (me) can't expect anything to work in it. >> What it came down to, is, the web page being aspx shite, it requires >> javascript (javashite). >> >> I installed a 12.x version of opera (from my Debian 6 desktop system), >> on this (Debian 7, running on the Acer E5-521-238Q) system, and left >> javascript enabled, and the web page works. >> >> In going to the Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit option, as such packages are >> usually .deb packages, and so, tend to work on Debian (which is how I >> got Seamonkey installed and working on this system, from an old >> version of Seamonkey.deb, that I had obtained), I downloaded and tried >> to install the package. > > I'm not sure I can tell what package you mean here. > fglrx_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb >> I got a dependency problem; >> "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: fglrx-core" >> >> So, I seached in Synaptic, for fglrx, and found >> >> fglrx-driver; > > But that isn't fglrx-core is it?

This partivular computer was bought to try to determine whether Debian 7 could run an external monitor - it has a different graphics hardware configuration. So far, it is not "nice", as I can't get Debian 7 to run the external monitor, from it.
