My problem lie in two areas:
1. The screensaver make my lcd screen go amook. Lots ot bright vertical
lines, and progressive greying out of the screen. Must reboot to get out of
it.
2. I have two network cards, both PCMCIA, both DHCP. When both are plugged
in the net is not accessible by either card. When I leave the wireless card
in, it wants me to reconfigure it the first time that I reboot with only
the wireless card. The same is with other card (not a wireless card, just a
ethernet card).
Pretty desperate situation. I have posted without luck!
Thanks
