Well, I was going by the System Monitor that is included with GNOME. The cat /proc/meminfo results in a MemTotal of 224436 kb. When I try the mem=288M it gives me an Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory. I find that puzzling since the BIOS reports the full 288M. Running dmidecode shows th

Another thought, I'm using the default kernel that comes with Debian. Would I have better success with a custom compiled one that is for the Pentium chip in the system? On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 1:15 AM, Isaac MacFarlane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, I was going by the System Monitor that is i

Not on this system. It has a discrete video system builtin that has it's own memory. On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 2:48 AM, Paolo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 10:15:24PM -0600, Isaac MacFarlane wrote: > > > >Hello all. I have 288MB installed in my system and the BIOS does se

Hibernate: mouse is lost

On my HP DV6100 running Testing with GNOME as the graphical environment, if I hibernate, either manually from the command line or using the menu, when I wake the system the mouse is not recognized, even if unplugged and replugged. Even if I unplug the mouse before hibernating, it is not recognized

Hi Carl, I used to have a similar problem with my Compaq 3425. The configuration is quite similar to DV6700. Try running "lsusb" command after resuming from hibernate. I say "I used to" because I use lenny and a month or so back this issue vanished after dist-upgrade. On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 8:2
