Update your distribution.

As root:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

This will upgrade all your installed packages to the latest versions. The
CD versions occasionally had some mouse recognition problems.

It'll take a little bit, but should go smoothly. Mine did. :-)

Modelines. Blech. :-) I don't think X v4 uses modelines anymore, actually.
