Re: Random X 4.1.0-6 crashes, lockups on Dell i5000e
Hi Michael,
I believe our machines are identical, except for packaging and perhaps
the LCD resolution (yours 1600x1200, mine 1400x1050). Mine is from ARM
Computer, Inc. (http://www.armcomputer.com), model N38W3.
I am running the software you mention without any problems (except
perhaps with X after returning from suspend mode). I am an amateur at
this stuff, so can't give direct advice. You may find the attached X
config file helpful, though.
Also, and perhaps more importantly, a very helpful page for running
Linux on the Dell i5000e is at http://ibgwww.colorado.edu/~lessem/5000e/.
Regards,
Vince Virgilio
