I wasn't using an autodetected XF86Config before - for various reasons I
had copied my known-working one in. But I ran the test and several
problems occurred - however note these may not be new issues.
These are on a Toshiba Satellite 2450-101.
* debconf didn't ask me any configuration questions.
* Upon trying to start gdm, the X server showed coloured squares on the
screen (some of which flashed) instead of gdm. After rebooting, the X
server starts fine the first time, but if you try to restart it you get
the coloured squares issue.
* In a working X server (ie. first run after a reboot), the resolution
was 640x480.
* The touchpad "tap to click" feature doesn't work (and never has worked
in a 2.6.x kernel) using the default drivers. It only works with the
synaptics driver.
