For the wifi, from the wiki with my comments =>
You can use a kernel backport of the Sid kernels on Lenny.
o Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://backports.undebian.org/repositories/backports-kernel/ ./
Add the key: wget -q -O -
http://backports.undebian.org/repositories/backports-kernel/archive-key.asc |
apt-key add -
=>The last time I tried, eeePC didn't want to access this repo, even the wget
fails. My 2.6.29 kernel comes from regular lenny repo.
* The newer kernels require a new acpid (1.0.8-7 or later) and new
eeepc-acpi-scripts (1.1.0-1 or later) from Sid.
=>I've got acpid 1.0.10 and eeepc-acpi-scripts 1.1.1 so it shoub be OK.
* If you formerly used madwifi and are therefore switching to ath5k, remove
madwifi-tools, as it blacklists ath5k.
=>Synaptic claims that madwifi-tools is not installed so it should be OK.
* The interface name in ath5k is now wlan0, so any config files referencing
ath0 need to be changed (e.g. /etc/network/interfaces). Please do not simply
add the wlan0 lines and let ath0 remain there, this could give problems. Just
rename :D
=>OK, ath0 renammed in wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces
* All relevant ethernet chipsets are now supported by the kernel, (except
atl1c -- see ../../Model/1005HA for details,) so atl2 users don't need a
separate module package anymore.
=>Is there some package to remove?
* You should remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules if it exists.
=>renammed it in .old
=>then reboot, nothing change
In wicd, there is in Advanced Settings WPA Supplicant with a combo on Driver
that can be set to wext or atmel or ralink_legacy, I've tried all but it
changed nothing, which one has to be set?
I'm living tomorow for one week, so don't be surprise if I don't reply until
then, but I will report any advice that could help me.
Regards
Fabien

ath0 -> wlan0, not eth0 (as someone else pointed out). Did you do
everything else in http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Upgrade ?

Please post your xorg.conf.

I wouldn't reinstall. I'd just work through these issues. I'm sure it
won't take long for us to sort out.

No.

You can get rid of gdm.
