oh, i almost forgot, there's one issue i neglected to mention: the sound card doesn't seem to be detected/supported. previously it was a cs46xx audio card which afaicr worked fine before installation, though it's possible i had placed some extra modprobe options long ago and forgotten about them. this might be fixed in 2.6.18, *but*, that leads me to the next issue: laptop freezes at X initialization in the newest kernel :( i can boot into single user mode okay, but starting gdm freezes the laptop requiring a hard reboot. any ideas? the card info should be in the lspci in the previous email. thanks, sean
