RE: What to do when the lists just can't help me
Thanks to everyone who responded... unfortunately this is a dual boot
box, and I haven't gotten enough things running in linux to let it run
linux during business hours so I won't be able to get to them until
tonight.
And special thanks for the list of professionals who can help, I'm all
for tinkering with settings and modules, but some of this stuff just
isn't worth the hassle (specifically I'm referring to my problems with
wine) and I just want it to work! (like the rest of Debian!)

As this seems to be a kernel problem, have you tried talking to the
author of the relevant driver to see if this a known problem or a new
one, and if a known problem if it will be fixed in a future kernel?
