Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2002-05-20 10:00:01 UTC 
There is 3 things:
1) This setting is a kernel parameter as well, the config option is just the default
2) No matter what we set it too, it will break on a group of laptops
3) We have a list of laptops in the kernel that require a specific setting,
   please run the dmidecode program (from the kernel-utils package) and attach
   the output; that way we can add your laptop to make it work out of the box.
