Present issues:

* Can't get the numlock snippet to get executed upon bootup.
* Skype can't get video, be it with original 2.6.27.7 kernel or the brand new 2.6.29.1.
* Borked file in rc.d makes the init sequence interrupt?
* Can't switch computer down from init:4 (default slack multi/graphic user level)

The [[Upgrade to KDE4.2]] Readme

Slack won't remember the Keyboard settings it asked you twice in the install process;

you have to know your ''keyb ID'' to insert it manually in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Mine is ''be'' and so the relevant part of my xorg conf now looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection

Three-Button standard mouse with mousewheel must be enabled this way:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Actually, I am porting again and again my same xorg.conf from previous installs; I copy them over after I finish installing the NVidia drivers. The full files, which applies to:

* A single flat screen of 1440x900
* A classic mousewheel three buttons mouse
* A Belgian keyboard
* A NVidia 8/9 series accelerated graphic card

Is to be found [[here]] for reference.
