This was my first real attempt at getting Debian to work on a laptop.
I've been running only Debian on my boxes since march this year and so
far I am a happy, satisfied "customer". Maybe I am just trying to get
the wrong resolution and 1400x1050 would be the right one.
The video card is a M3.

Yes, Sarge has Xfree and Etch Xorg.
Also, I've been using testing straight since before Sarge was
released, and have no complains(sp?) so far, besides some gnomepanel
