653 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM

668 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER

679 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
680 "weird" problems:
681
682 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
683 enabled.
684 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
685 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
686 the "no387" option to the kernel
687 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
688 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
689 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
690 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
691 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
692 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
693 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
694 10) install a better fan for the CPU
695 11) exchange RAM chips
696 12) exchange the motherboard.

698 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
699 module will be called apm.
