FW: Hi All + Technical question

[Riaan Annandale]

Hi Everyone,

I previously sent this to the n00b list in error, and then I found out that it's only for discussions.

Please see my points below.

Thanks

I feel this could be video card related - I have a GeForce 4 MX 420 with the latest NVidia drive. And I have disabled the AGP, ACPI is also disabled otherwise X just hangs.
