I have a system upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze and every time, during boot up sequence, I am seeing the log below: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules:11 I don't have a wacom device really, so I just decided to get rid of this error message. To do so, do: #: aptitude remove xserver-xorg-input-wacom Then, delete file z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules from /etc/udev/rules.d Is this the right way to do it? I don't know :) @timus@

I was playing around with Debian Squeeze and observed that rubberband selection and text selection is not working. The Debian Squeeze machine is a VirtualBox guest upgraded from Debian Lenny. I suspected that this maybe caused by Gnome/gtk configuration that was messed during upgrade to Squeeze. Tried to install LXDE and still no dice, same issue observed. I was guessing then that this might be an xorg driver issue (vboxvideo) or mouse (vboxmouse). I started making adjustments to my xorg.conf and waalaah.... issue fixed. This is a snippet of the original configuration: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "vboxmouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Changed it
