A few problems in sight switching to Debian
I'm not a developer and I'd just like to point a few issues to check
for the next release. I'm planning to switch to Debian when Etch
comes out but, for now, my findings are from Knoppix.
My monitor, a Viewsonic VX922, is not set correctly. Il looks OK but,
when a 1280x1024 image is downloaded it fits more than the screen. I
now use a file made by PCLinuxOS whcih is correct. Here are the two
sections that I copied in my XF86Config file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x
TMDS"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "VX922"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"

---------------------------------------------
My printer, an HP Laserjet 1012, which used to work with Knoppix 3.9,
now doesn't work with Knoppix 5.01. It seems the installation program
doesn't find the driver.
There are two keyboards used in Quebec, Canada. The oldest is called
CF and a newer one is called CA, with which it's possible to write
accented letters such as "à è ç" in just one stroke. I use the the CA
keyboard and choosing it in KDE used to be very straightforward.
In the latest version of KDE, though, the CA keyboard has disappered
and the CF keyboard has been renamed CA. So all distros using KDE
have the same problem and I can't find my keyboard anymore.
If this is not plain sabotage, tell me what it is.
Regards!
