Re: [gentoo-user] Laptop weirdness
Have it started doing that after anyh particular installation or right after the base system was installed? Seems to me that it is a leak of resources (memory). Have you tried checking /var/log/messages or /var/log/kernel/current ?

Regards, Saffi Hi, It started right after a base install, the system is running extremely well otherwise... meaning no errors or weirdness whatsoever. It feels like I am running a great system on a 486. lol! Wayn0 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
