Re: apt-get, debian-user-digest, xfree86
Hello,
It's weird replying to my own post, but a few minor corrections.
(1) somewhat useless: the from should have said "TongKe" rather
than "tongKe" -- didn't realize it until now, when I got a copy of my
own email, d'oh
(2) for the XFree86 question, for ATI graphics card, are there any
choices other than the XFree 86 4.3.0 drivers? Also, is the 9200
Mobility supported? Is it much different form the 9000 series?
Thanks,
--TongKe Xue
