Define the correct frequency ranges yourself manually, you may have to
google the specs on your display for the V&H refr.
eg /etc/X11/XF86Configi from my inspiron 1100:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "LCD Panel 1024x768"
HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5
VertRefresh 40.0 - 70.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
This is default stuff from Anaconda, but you get the idea.

type this into term as root to not attempt loading the floppy modules:
echo "alias floppy off" >> /etc/modules.conf
not sure why or if this is actually causing your notebook to hang, but
there is one easy way to see :)
