Right so i finally got round to linux on my laptop and decided this years test would be Debian! I have 2-3 sort of big questions on it before i jump about and smile that it works propperly (then need to sit and tweak my desktop pc to get x working but thats another days task)
Anyway my first and pretty simple question is how do you do WPA wireless networking? (this i think i know what to do but im putting it in for just now).
Secondly (and probably most importantly) how do you get 3d acceleration for x with debian (yeah i know im ignoring the no proprietory stuff potentially but i want to use the graphics card). I have an ait 2400 in my laptop and dont think the best thing to do is use the amd installer (as it was a bit messy last time).
Finally, does anyone have KDE 4.1? Its the first time KDE has actually appealed to me (used to be massivly into xfce around the time of xfce4 coming out, and been a gone fan from it actually working in gentoo) but i want to know how to well make it look good (poor explanation). My main problem is that the menus come out as grey bars separate to the nice well designed wraps.
