Note that MacOS has the monopoly on what they ship, Linux has a motherload of file managers and window systems and all. What pisses me off is the fact that Gnome and friends implement their own incompatible-with-others VFS's and automounters and stuff. Surely supporting this in the kernel and extending the LSB to require this is the best step to take without infringing anyone's freedom as such. *still pissed off about having to hassle an automatic mount* -- mjt

[2.] Full description of the problem/report: Hello, I knew I would have some trouble to make an un-tested laptop to work with GNU/Linux, but hope I recently reached enough skills to try it. I am totaly new to this mailing list. I know about computers, but not much about the Linux kernel at all. Here is a summary of what is working and not working: 1-The GNU/Linux console with framebuffer is perfectly working. 2-The wired network is working only most of the time. But in some conditions, like staring X seem to make it unstable. 3-Xorg is not working, almost all the time. Without changing anything related to the driver or the modules, it sometimes work or don't work. I could not figure out what is related to this. 4-"acpi_power_off" is not working either. At some random times of my installs, it did happen to work. But at each time it worked, at the next boot, it would not work. I have made all the "cat" of this mail in the same boot session, just in case. I don't know enough, but I fear some things about IRQ I don't know about would behave differrently on one boot or another. I am running with the latest gentoo kernel. Currently 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 I have tried the vanilla sources, but I could not make the framebuffer to work with them. I can make other tries if this can help. [3.] Keywords: IRQ, ACPI, Xorg, acpi_power_off, DSDT [4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
