Re: Upgraded to testing, now xserver freezes
thanks a lot Patrick!
following your instructions got me past the errors, so now I had a thatch screen plus moving mouse... and then a bit of mixing and matching from the generated XF86config.new and my old one got things going as I'd like. Thanks!
and woww!! I gotta say, with the look and feel of KDE3.2 on testing, I'm willing to put up with some bugginess... mind you I'm curious to know, just how buggy do people find testing to be? and what do you do when you encounter a bug?
