As noted in another thread ("Wheezy upgrade trashes display"), upgrades on
Monday left me with no X-windows. I suspect this happened when the kernel
was upgraded from 2.6.32-5-686 to 2.6.38-2-686. I still have the netinst CD
that I originally used. It predates the kernel upgrade, and the CD has

Two weeks ago I successfully installed Wheezy (testing). Yesterday I did the
latest upgrades, and now my X-Windows display is unreadable. Here are the
details:
1. I called "apt-get upgrade", which listed 50 packages it was holding back.
Most were xorg-related. I did not proceed with that upg

Here finally is the minimal solution that worked. Based on the s

The virtualbox manager says

Does xvidtune ever work with onboard Intel video chipsets? It never has for
me.
I'm running testing (Wheezy) on an Intel i5 CPU (DH55HC). Most video
functions seem fine, but if I try to re-center the display with xvidtune, I
get this:

On my Wheezy system, apt-get upgrade was holding back lots of packages
because of this, so I ran apt-get dist-upgrade, the

I have a good new installation of testing (Wheezy). I would like to use my
old three-button roll-ball serial mouse (Logitech M-MD15L) but have so far
failed. The PC is new with an Intel i5 motherboard and a serial port.
With Lenny, it was sufficient to have this section in xorg.conf:

I installed Wheezy (testing) on a new desktop with an old Viewsonic 17
