Comments/Problems:

I am trying to install Debian using the Debian installer testing daily
        build from 10-20-2009.  I keep getting the following error continuously
        scrolling on the screen after selecting expertgui.
        
        commandline read:  debconf
        
        Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_set_colormap:  assertion `cmap == NULL ||
        gdk_drawable_get_depth (drawable) == cmap->visual->depth' failed
        
        caught signal 11 (at 0x28, invalid address) <--
        
        I don't have all of the details on the error message since it gives me a
        headache to try and copy everything from the scrolling screen but I
        copied most of the error.
        
        The w500 has integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
        graphics and a discrete ATI Mobility FireGL V5700.  The graphics is OS
        selectable but I have turned the OS selectable off in the BIOS because I
        have seen others say it confuses Linux.  I have set the graphics to the
        discrete ATI since that is what I intend to use and I thought it would
        be better to be using that during the install to get everything detected
        correctly.

I rebooted and installed using expert mode without graphical and I was able to install.
The install recognized that I had windows XP already installed on a partition but it 
didn't put it in grub.

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old, more than 3 years.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
