Hi - I wanted to experiment with Mandrake 9.0 rc3 on my dell inspiron 8200 laptop. It seems that the system freezes after a while it has been in use (I've noted that when the system is frozen the fan is on and a few lights flash). Hardware fallure is likely to be excluded, since I don't have this problem with Mandrake 8.2 and it happens too often (3 times in ~9 hours of overall usage) in 9.0rc3. Any bright idea? Some option in the default .config of the kernel which can be switched on/off?
Biagio P.S.: The i8200 needs proprietary NVidia and hsf Conexant drivers. Not to be excluded that the problem is with the former (I have recompiled the rpm on 9.0, so possible incompatibilities should be excluded).
