Firefox is still too laggy when interacting with interface elements (scrollbar, toolbars, menus), and typing within HTML textboxes. XTerm, xpdf, xcalc, etc are still OK to use, perhaps because they're not as graphically intensive :) Also, it seems to have broken the suspend/resume. The machine does wake up, but X is no longer there (I'm at the VTY from which I started X) and I can't switch to another VTY. The machine still "works" for a period, but attempts to switch VTY or enter commands from the keyboard eventually lock it up, resulting in a continuous beep tone and requiring a hard power-off (holding down the power button). -Brandon
