Hi I've just installed Fedora Core 1 test 3. The biggest problem I have with it is that my Fujitsu/Siemens Amilo D laptop tends to shutdown on its own from time to time (2/3 times a day) while I'm actively using it (typing texts, playing videos) or when it is not used (screensaver on). At first, I thought it was hardware-related. But, having Windows XP on another partition, I could see that the problem didn't happen on Windows XP. So the problem seems to come from Fedora. Then, I tried to de-activate both acpid and apmd. And the problem seems to have gone away and I'm happy :) Now, my questions are: - Why are both acpid and apmd activated by default ? Aren't they mutually exclusive ? - What could possibly be the cause of the problem ? - How could I help find the exact cause of the problem ? Thanks for your help. -- Julien Olivier <julo@xxxxxxxxxx>
