Yes, that's the kind of stuff I see, though I get a few more messages about
the reboots I did. So it works on ascii. But that was never in doubt, was it?
And I'm using lightdm.
Is beowulf already in a state where it is generally useable for an ordinary
user on a laptop? Except maybe a few quirks like the one we're now
debugging? If so I'll upgrade soon and look for problems. I'd prefer not
to have to downgrade or reinstall if my system becomes unusable.
