I've read various posts describing APM problems with Dell laptops. My APM works fine on kernel 2.4.18 with APM and i8k complied in (info gets read, suspend & resume apparently works) yet any of the Fn+XX combinations (e.g. Fn+D, Fn+volume-up, even Fn+arrow keys!) freezes my Inspiron 4100 real hard, and so does pulling/plugging the power cord. Other symptoms include: fans blowing at full speed after suspending for more than two hours, random lockups when not using the machine but leaving it on for long.
This leads me to think I have a BIOS problem. Can anyone recommend a i4100 BIOS which works well? Or otherwise point to a solution to these weird problems? Thanks! - Matthijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
