If it does, then I'm not sure what's wrong - sounds like some hardware incompatibility. Maybe someone can tell after seeing the dmesg. If it doesn't then I'm curious exactly what kind of install did you do? What distributions did you choose to install? It may be worth to install only the bare minimum at first and later add everything else via ports/packages - that's what I usually do. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Money is the root of all evil.
