Subject: [Thinkpad] T21 freezes


> Hi,
> I am using a thinkpad T21 with win2k and linux installed.
> I am experiencing serious problems with system freezes,
> especially in linux. The freezes are quite reproducible.

click

they

> In linux on the other hand, the freezes are very frequent.
> They occur only when I am running X. Again the system
freezes

also

xmms is
> playing some mp3s). This renders linux pretty much
unusable.
