Dont you dare complain. Did you take the time to actually understand what Debian Etch is all about? Let me ask you this question, what the hell were you thinking when you wrote that message in the LUG? First go and find out who is Debian Etch's target audience then write such preposterous emails asking for help.
I admit that I have kept only a casual watch on "Debian" over the last three years when I was using Ubuntu - what it is, its track records regarding stability and security, its target audience - may be it is nothing near the level what you know.
I installed Debian for a reason - Bluetooth is broken in Intrepid. Yes, I have "done my homework" and no, the answers are *not* "readily available on the internet". I have posted on the official forum and launched a bug report with all the logs requested. Only after that, did I decide to switch to Debian. Here I came to this screen resolution problem.
In the end, I had to choose the lesser of the two evils - screen or bluetooth. I just posted a follow-up that my problem was solved, for the time being.
As for the other mail which also you soundly booted, yes I'm aware that I should "do my homework" and that there are utilities which help me to do that. But I handle maybe 2 drives in 4 years while there are people here who handle ten or more daily. So I thought to tap into their experience.
If you think that I am complaining, being ungrateful or parasitic, I apologize on this LUG itself. In the future I will try to live up to the LUG standards.
