Yes, but I asked if the hang also happens when you launch an app other
that Synaptic ;-)

The system should automatically load the required module as soon as the
media is inserted (hey, this is plug & play, you know...).

There are already some bug reports opened for this problem in Debian BTS
(yes, against the kernel package, that is, "linux-image"), you can add
your comments there instead opening a new one.

It's the most "clean" method to try out this. Dealing with VGA drivers
has become a bit annoying nowadays, in the past we only had to edit one

You can also read/post to this mailing list by means of a newsreader and
nntp news server (no Google Groups), like I do, which does not require
you to subscribe to the list and you don't need to store messages in your
hard disk :-)
