That explains quite a bit.  Jerry's post had me concerned about my 
future installation of CentOS on my laptop.  I was able to install 4.2 
on my R3000 (similar athlon 64 notebook with slower processor) last 
night and didn't suffer from these problems.  However, the R3000 uses an 
nVidia Geforce 440 "Go" video chipset.  8-)  I just plain worked out of 
the box.  I ended up turning off the cpuspeed cruft as well since the 
machine is mostly used as a desktop replacement and battery life isn't 
really an issue.

Cheers,
