Comment 4 for bug 48792

hi

thanks for the email.

I think I saw a now known bug with powernow but theys till havent fixed it
...!

Its odd how some distros are fine though , pclinuxos(mandriva based ) has no
problems for example.

say while am on , you dont know much about xorg by chance do you??

(thought would ask have a problem cant suss - trying to get gui on a sun
ultra sparc with an ati rage video card - ahh such fun !! )

cheers

mick
