I have IBM ThinkPad 390e with 250 Mb of Ram and no hardrive. I copy DSL image to RAM upon booting.
The DSL always freezes after 5 min of inactivity. However if I'm doing smth like typing on keyboard our using mouse, it doesn't freeze. It leads me to believe this is a power management problem. Now I've tried to use apm=off and acpi=off cheat codes at start, but it doesn't help.
Other Debian-based LiveCDs like Knoppix or Kanotix run on this machine fine without any freezes. But they're just a bit heavy on this Pentium 2 old man.
I've experienced same Issue on older DSL distros as well, like on 2.2.
Anyone could help? Thanks a lot I figure now it's not the power management problem, but the freeze occurs right before the screensaver kicks in.. Could anyone say in what file can I configure the screensaver off Thanks!It seems I've been able to switch off the screensaver, or is it screen blanking, with sudo xset s off & Now the laptop doesn't hang.wow great job...aint it great to figure it out on your own!?

Yes it is, but still it's strange that the comp hangs with DSL. It doesn't hang with any other Live Distros.Next Page...
