Laptops :: DSL freezes on IBM ThinkPad 390e

Hooray, the problem is FINALLY solved! Thanks guys for all your help. The issue was in that I didn't use the framebuffer mode. So when I started DSL by
dsl dma fb1024x768 xsetup
and chose the framebuffer x server
everything started to work like a breeze, I can close the screen lid now, do the ctrl+alt+del, ctrl+alt+backspace and all

Now I can finally do the hdd install and kiss Windows goodbye

and to all the users who had the same problem, you don't have to switch off the screensaver any more!  

Nice work finding it out!

I'll try to remember this just in case for future reference
