Re: i4100: APM, suspend OK; Fn, power cord cause freeze
I have a Dell I4000 laptop with Woody (Sid) that I loaded up
a few days ago. Impressed with nice job Debian has done.
APM doesn't work though with the 2.2.20 kernel. I was thinking
about moving up to 2.4 but I'll wait for some good news from
someone who has it working first.
