Sorry, I missed the rest of this thread, but was wondering if I can
help, as I have a Dell C600 Latitude with X happily humming along.

Can you send me the thread, or shorten it to what is and what is not

I have just reinstalled debian on my laptop, and had some problems
with installing the correct packages, so maybe I can shed some light
on what is going wrong.

And don't worry other answers will be on list.;)
