I wrote up the wiki guide on this, but for the last six months I |
| 11 |
haven't been able to get it to work. If somebody does have it working |
| 12 |
please see if the guide needs updating - something seems to have |
| 13 |
changed. |

It is annoying because my system seems to freeze up on rare occasion |
| 16 |
and I'm sure there is a panic/etc on the console obscured by X11. At |
| 17 |
the moment, however, some kind of xorg freezeup seems to be what is |
| 18 |
driving me crazy (seems like a driver puts it into a loop and makes it |
| 19 |
freeze for 30s at a time, with even alt-sysrq-r not always working. |

either... Ugh. |
