Rob, thanks for the config file! I did a quick diff, saw that the
only two differences between our setups werre use of the kreame buffer
and use of 16 instead of 24-bit color... the color was the culprit.
HUGE help! I love debian lists!
subsidiary question: do you use an external mouse? my touchpad is
either a little sticky, or not configured quite right (I assume the
latter, since you reported no problems) -- the left-click button
doesn't seem to want to 'MouseUp' most of the time. For fun I tried
connecting a random USB mouse to the USB port, but even though the
config includes a second "generic mouse" in the server setup
(identical to the mouse setup on my desktop, which is where I pulled
the mouse in questio from), I couldn't get it to work. Did you have
to do anything fancy with the mice, like set up devices or something?
thanks again,
m
