After reboot, even though I at least I thought I had told the system not
to start any pcmcia stuff, it searched for pcmcia stuff and jammed at
0x800-0x8ff - after excluding these ports in /etc/pcmcia/config booted
ok. Touchpad is extremely slow even when settings have been put to the
fastest possible (touchpad is fine in Windows XP and Ubuntu (breezy
5.10), but makes the Debian fairly irritating to use. Also, at times
display has exhibited very strange behaviour, appearing as if it has
reverted to having very few colours, but looking at xdpyinfo (with some
intel from a friend) did not display any weirdness, and display was fine
after logging out and logging back in. Mildly irritating to me
personally is also the fact that the login screen image changes
randomly, but this might be considered a personal preference, and since
it is configurable, it might not be considered a bug as such.
I had to use etch because of the SATA drive, sarge did not recognize the
computer having any HD.
I'll be happy to answer any questions regarding the installation, since
I have probably not managed to make everything entirely clear in this
report.
