Hi,

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.

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