I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that on a stock 2.1.127pre3 kernel I do not get the
funny screen blanking problem, but apm -s locks me up. undefing
APM_NOINTS cures that problem.
With the arca...-7 patch, most of which is now in 2.1.127pre7, undefing
APM_NOINTS just makes things worse. The screen not only blanks, the
keyboard is dead.
So it looks like it was the arca patch rather the apm patch that screwed
me up. Sorry.
pre7 also kills my PCMCIA again, so I have to wait for Dave Hinds to get
things fixed there. Watch out for falling rocks :)
