[edit] Problems and Solutions

[edit] Suspend to RAM

Framebuffer causes problems with wakeup from suspend. Compile the kernel without Framebuffer console support.

[edit] Screen powering off unexpectedly

This problem was observed while running mplayer or starting kdm. A quick fix is to reactivate the monitor using Fn+F7. For a more permanent fix, try compiling battery driver into the kernel (not as a module).

[edit] Mplayer Crashes

Disable 3dnow Use-Flag (Possibly the processor does not support 3dnow).
