And I have been using Etch with KDE since sometime. Its thesame CD/DVD set that I think Vihan downloaded and then gave it to Prasanta/Anurag and I got the same thing from them eventually. It worksforme, atleast whatever little I have used of it. Its on my older desktop - a P4 2.4Ghz, Rony - I think I told you about its config when we spoke about other stuff some weeks back.
My etch testing result was not good. Using Kubuntu 6.10 now.
Only problem I face is if I switch to tty, I can't come back to X. Prolly its my crappy xorgconf which is sucky surely,
This could be due to a low memory page setting in your bios. I had to increase it to 8 MB for my P4 2.4 Ghz system after kernel 2.6.X.
I did some fubar to it to get 1024x768 working. But I am living happily with it for now. For the sake of completeness - I use the good ol' debian installer to install Etch and not the GUI installer.
That could be the reason. I had used the new GUI installer.
