Richard, perhaps you are right in what concerns the ATI 7000 but that doesn't explain why my system works flawlessly with the other distributions and only fails with (K)Ubuntu. Oddly enough, now, even the plain 686 kernels don´t work in my machine. I´ve tried all since I installed Dapper and the

Ben, what I want is to be able to run the 686 SMP kernel like I manage to do in other dists and, while this issue is not solved, to be at least able to run the 686 non SMP kernel as I used to with Hoary and Breezy. Not only this hasn´t been solved since Hoary but now I even don´t have the possi

Richard, Though I have some knowledge of C it´s not that deep so I can´t comment on Paul´s patches. I know 386 is the default kernel in many distributions but I´ve got used to using the 686 because my first dist, years ago, was Mandrake and on install it detected the kind of processor and insta

Ben, Thanks for your info on kernel performance. Still, it just behaves as a 386 running at 3Ghz. What about other issues like special instructions and the larger quantities of memory handling available in modern processors. My old 386 system had a 80 Mb hard drive, my current system has a lot m

Yes, enabling power saving makes the screensaver work but just for the current session. When you reboot (I haven't tried with logout) the power saving setting is lost and you must re-enable it again. I've also found out that no matter what I do I can not change the frequency of the monitor. It s
