As Linus says, they are 99% driver bugs.

The fix for grml/upstream (what *you* do is your very own choice) is not disabling an option but to locate and fix the bug. Disabling such an important configuration option in general is the very last option. regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
