The binary only NVidia (while I've heard of many people with trouble them, they've been excellent for me and give me decent rates in Return to Castle Wolfenstein) force apm to be disabled, because it intereferes with AGP or something. Thanfully this is done in the open-source interface bit. I'll see if making some changes to the interface (just a case of changing some function return calues) code makes it work any better. > > * Entering S1 halts the system clock so the time when leaving S1 is the > > same as when it entered S1 > > As it should. You have to reset the clock. Oh really? Hrm.... so presumably the correct solution would be to do a "hwclock --hctosys" on leaving S1? *Wonders how to make it do this automatically* > I've never had fan & thermal_zones successfully on my i2500, and never even > seen a "power_resource", but ac_adapter works fine. Interesting. Many thanks for the answers, very useful. I'm not going to have this machine much longer because after a length battle with them including starting legal proceedings (the memory was(is) faulty and g++ kept suffering from Internal Compiler errors) I'm getting a refund. Hopefully the new machine will work as well or better :) - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris-NvB7AskkBIqIudiWw5vspbVCufUGDwFn@public.gmane.org, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP key: http://chrishowells.co.uk/pgp.txt KDE: http://www.koffice.org, http://printing.kde.org, http://usability.kde.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE97NVQF8Iu1zN5WiwRAi2dAJoDZiO8aOxvGzAiSzs1hlAKy7mjiwCeIWP1 5AQ3cedN9DJECBwWA1igMeA= =XMvs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Visual Studio.NET comprehensive development tool, built to increase your productivity.
