Whazup guys: Looks like I can't get into the list site, but I can subscribe to it. By the way, I loaded SuSE 8.0 on my laptop, and all my hardware is working - the modem doesn't sound but it connects fine, and 3D support is missing. My question is: How can I avoid frying my CPU? http://www.litzinger.com/fxa32.html I thought that the default kernel includes ACPI support. I downloaded the ACPID and installed it, but nothing works. Do I have to patch the kernel? Another question is, can I compile a kernel although I'm running reiserfs? Last time I compiled a kernel under resiserfs, I failed. It was a year ago and there used to be patches for it. And do I need any reiserfs patches? I hope the gurus will give me helpful input here. I know lenz is out, but there's ckm and others. Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

I recently received a Sony Vaio FXA36 as a gift, and it now has SuSE 8.0 on it. It works fine, and I haven't (yet) fried the CPU. I am not running ACPI (yet) but I am running APMD. Still, battery life is abysmal 45 minutes!! I have one battery (and at $250 each, I'm not likely to purchase another battery for a measly additional 45 minutes). I'm starting to check into ACPI and I'll be following this thread closely. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
