| 00:03.13 | bryguy_ | is there a good way to do video autodetection in debian? I tried installing from knoppix but I ended up with a generic vesa driver, but I've got a Radeon 9200 which should have free DRI drivers |
| 00:03.14 | JeffH | I have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. About half the time I boot into Linux the keyboard and mouse doesn't work. Is there something special I have to do for a wireless keyboard/mouse in Linux? |
| 00:03.16 | srart | cmf: with NVIDIA...run it complained that it needed ehaders and source. |
| 00:03.30 | cmf | well did you install the headers pkg? |
