I am going to trim this up a little. madodel wrote: I just have the /smp /apic. What does /sap:0x20 do? Also I updated to 3.09 using the warpin package and it runs fine now. /SAP Set startup ACPI options default value: 0 /SAP:0x0 you can assemble this values: ACPI_FULL_INITIALIZATION 0x00 ACPI_NO_ADDRESS_SPACE_INIT 0x01 ACPI_NO_HARDWARE_INIT 0x02 ACPI_NO_EVENT_INIT 0x04 ACPI_NO_HANDLER_INIT 0x08 ACPI_NO_ACPI_ENABLE 0x10 ACPI_NO_DEVICE_INIT 0x20 ACPI_NO_OBJECT_INIT 0x40 I think it means that ACPI should not run around and try to play with the devices. Per Roderick Klein's suggestion I switched to the Panorama driver (the last version I found on the BetaZone) and now window drag is fine. There is no listing of memory usage that I can find though. Anyone know what "Enable Shadow Buffer" does? I selected it but nothing seems different. I had some problems with Panorama and went back to SNAP. It is a bear to kill the Panorama driver. Had to do a good old Alt+F1 and reset to VGA (really ugly). I rarely ever use wired. Usually only when I'm at a hotel and that is all they have. I will have to give that a try when I get the rest When I tried RC4's Uniaud it trapped. (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller. Chuck said he has sound working with Paul's latest Uniaud driver so I will try that. I installed the last FAT32 driver as well. I have a big FAT32 partition to share files with Linux if I ever decide to spend any time in it. I have found that Kubuntu can access my eCS JFS volumes without any problem. Much easier than fiddling with FAT32. It locks up w/ flash, sometimes it plays 1 time, it always locks up on the 2nd time (at youtube site - haven't tried other views). FF 2.0.0.11 w/ flash patch for v9.0.115. I need to install mplay and see if that will work. I tried Z! on an mp3 online and it locked up. Haven't tried an mp3 off of the drive. Installing UniAud 1.1.4 RC6 (a complete package ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/uniaud/uniaud114RC6.zip ) first then Paul's updated Uniaud16.sys ( http://download.smedley.info/uniaud16test2.zip ) and UniAud32.sys ( http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.4.zip ). Now sound works works most of the time though the keyboard sound buttons don't work at all under eCS. Not sure if it is related, but I have had a lot of system hangs which only respond to power off. Or if its related to the Panorama driver. SD/xD/memory stick card slot though eCS doesn't seem to recognize it). Same here, no workie. If I plug in my card reader it works fine. Doesn't seem to work in Linux either, unless one has to mount it before it can be used. I just have SD cards here. When I plug one into the slot a light briefly comes on then goes out. DFSee only shows the SATA drive. My only camera card is an XD. Reads fine in WinXP. Is not recognized in eCS or Kubuntu. I did go out and download what is supposedly Linux support for the Lenovo Smart Card reader, but it did not seem to help. Since I've been playing with the T61 I've had a number of hard freezes requiring a power off, but not on boot since I got ACPI working. Have you tried Alt-F4 at the boot blob which steps through each device driver before it is run? The problem with Alt-F2 is it only shows the last driver that was loaded.
