Oh, another thing: if you select to auto startup X11 and it doesn't work you have to reboot via hardware!! I can't use the keyb. combination control+alt+backspace to kill X11 and cant switch to other shell ... > If you encounter problems with your keyboard, that's probably a "linux > keycodes or mac keycodes" problem. yes I think it too :p > Mine is the mac french keymap and it maps well with linux keycodes in X > (and is screwed up with mac keycodes).

Hmm, I don't understand why it works good in console (for me) and not on X11 ! Oh, about the ISDN usb modem: I saw that it uses a kernel modem (acm or something like that) but, where have I to look to see if it works and starts at boot time ? Thanks to everyone ! Giovanni
