APM issues, X windows
suffers from known bug on logout/change to console
|
Start off by NOT using
apm. Introduce with care. Other than that, should be possible to persuade
it to run well with new kernel/X Windows. See
details.

Probably requires framebuffer
to be used for X windows as error
reported previously. Relatively old (May 2000) Other possible solution
to this error is suggested to be the use of svga xserver

Not sure if this is
a laptop or just a power supply code.... (there's definitely a 7250 power
