Hans,
I can understand your frustration with the situation of setting up your
modem. Being a new user of Linux myself (3 months), I have faced several of
these problems. The documentation isn't all that great, and usually not

All I can think of is that your refresh rates are not set up properly.

You simply download the kernel source package. It should install in
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17 (in your case). Then create a symlink to it
called "linux"
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17 /usr/src/kernel
You will probably need to be root do any of this.

Have you tried using "cardctl"? Look up the man pages on that. It's a short
document. I suppose you could have some sort of a script that "ejects" your
card before going into hibernate or shutdown via APM.

That is indeed a strange problem. Just the other day I gave a presentation
using my Dell 5000 laptop, and used both the X and the console mode
successfully. The display was on my panel and also on the monitor and the
overhead projector. If Fn-F8 doesn't work for you, perhaps it could have to
