I didn't need to do that for Gentoo, but every other distro I've tried locks up after a random interval - even the latest Fedora 15. I suspect I have a chipset problem, but Gentoo runs happily with it so there must be a config option of some kind. Can anyone point me to the parameter concerned? I can't find it with grep. -- Rgds Peter
