Thanks for the reply. I really don't think it's a hardware problem, since I had XP on this laptop for about 2 weeks before I installed debian, and the wireless worked absolutely fine. I guess the only way to test the theory would be to put XP back on, but I really don't want to do that...
I don't seem to have any problems with the laptop coming out of hibernation (apart from when I had a network cable plugged in, hibernated, removed the cable, then the next day, powered it back on without the cable attached, and it crashed during boot) I'm going to move to the new unstable in a week or so, but I am using some sources from pure:dyne, and just waiting back for confirmation that moving from Lenny will not cause problems with that. I don't think it will, since when I installed, Lenny was unstable, but their website hasn't been updated from recommending Lenny yet, so I thought it was safer to err on the side of caution. Thanks for the help with Xorg. I've got it working perfectly now (not tried the external output yet, don't really have much need for it), but it was a good 3-day battle to get it working. Fortunately the help on Ubuntu's wiki got me working eventually, but even that didn't work exactly as it said it should (I'm guessing because Ubuntu isn't actually Debian?) Thanks again, but if anyone does have any ideas, please do tell.
