I did a suspend for over an hour while I was out... came back, resumed, tried "play <sound_file>" to test the sound and the entire machine locked up **TIGHT** -- even the suspend/resume switch would only turn off the backlight (handled by BIOS); the system left the display as is... only power off would work. If anyone cares: suspend/resume has MAJOR problems in 9.0 Right now, I'm trying a partial IRQ split -- PCI[12]=10, PCI[34]=11 Pierre > > On Thu, 2003-01-23 at 16:10, Pierre Fortin wrote: > > On 23 Jan 2003 15:27:52 -0800 James Sparenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > > > > On Thu, 2003-01-23 at 15:22, Dave Laird wrote: > > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > > > > > Good afternoon, James... > > > > > > > > On Thursday 23 January 2003 03:04 pm, James Sparenberg wrote: > > > > > > > > > Nothing like replying to your own post *grin*.... but I've found > > > > > out one thing.......
