When the locks did occur I usually went to bed and rebooted the next morning. As I am not technically skilled enough I was not able to figure out if the problem was the kernel - or my bad line (living in the country side we cannot rely 100% on the "service" our provider 'Telekom' provides... ). Reading your post reminded my of this issue I have then noticed. Right now I am using the i386-current-MP-kernel and everything seems to work fine. At present I am rsync'ing my home-directory and only Gkrellm tells my about the activities going on. I just once tried the VESA video driver - a veeery long time ago. I think it didn't solve my questions then and just reinstalled everything. Probably made some mistake. I was thinking of trying the AMD64-multiprocessor the other day - but not on the T60 but on an iMac my father did not familiarize with and gave to me. Unfortunatelly it has an Nvidia graphics card... :-( The T60 has emerged to be my prime workhorse so I don't dare to change to much at present. If this would be a major help to you I will take the time and reinstall the original harddisk and give the AMD64 a try. Have a nice weekend!
