| Checkaptgpg uses a list of keyservers to get the required keys; if one server is not available, it tries the next on the list. But "hkp://keyservers.org" is the first on the list and it has been unavailable for several months; this causes a long time-out delay for each key. The 2nd on the... |

| @Silent Observer, This might be a wildgoose chase but could you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and also some details on your CRT (manufacturer, model #, etc.). I'd like to see if the correct "HorizSync" & "VertRefresh" timings are being used. I know with my system when I u... |

| Okay, I did this (as you suspected, I had to be root to get the settings to save to xorg.conf), and also went into the BIOS setup and changed the video frame buffer to 256 MB , came back here from the E-Machine and thanked, then started to type a reply -- and the video screwed up again (from 1024x7... |

| I don't think I used the VESA cheat code for the install... You were using the vesa driver a couple days ago (remember all the discussion about the xdrvr & confx cheats?) ... I did, however, run sgfxi and install the nVidia driver version 304.88 after initial installation. ... You didn't mentio... |

| Suspend to RAM works for me with 3.8.1 in that it suspends and resumes fine, but the fan comes on full blast after resume because one of my HP 8510 laptop temperature zones erroneously reads 100 degrees C. This behavior appeared in 3.7, and unfortunately it isn't fixed in 3.9 Beta 6 ... When you sa... |

| On the booted LiveDVD when I try to open the Installer by any method CPU2 goes to 100%. It appears that parted is causing this as when I KILL it in System monitor CPU2 goes down to 1-3%.
