I have made my choice: To prevent the dhcpcd daemon from overwriting "resolv.conf" you have to book "nohook resolv.conf" to the last section of "dhcpd.conf! It works only after one reboot! (After the first reboot the resolv.conf is empty!) Now its looks like: search nothing ...

Hi Westms! I think I have "solved" the problem, but one by one... --> "Perhaps you run local DNS servers in the DSL modems." YES! --> "or are the DSL modems crippled DSL modem routers" YES (The Pirelli is a cheap one - designed for individual deposits - the Thomson is t...

Hi! I think I have found the answer but i don't realize it! There is a difference between the "resolv.conf" of Thomsen Speedtouch-DSL-Modem (the good guy) and Pirelli PRGAV4202N-DSL-Modem (the bad one). The Pirelli send me: search home (or domain home in Slackel) nameserver 10.0.0.138 The ...

Hi Westms! You wrote about expectation level! It is really boring if you are waiting and you see "looking up" in the bottom left corner of Firefox but now I can present you numbers! I had a brilliant idea - I installed Slackel on my netbook an made the "SPI-Test" I start "sp...

OK - if nobody wants to write to me, then i write with myself :lol: I have take a step forward! Firefox/Thunderbird has nothing to do with it! If I start "spi -u", for instance, it requires really a lot of time! This behaviour never attract attention before because our internet link was ve...

I am waiting for Salix 14.2 and playing with other Distros... So I figured out, that the couple Firefox/Thunderbird of other Distros is much faster than in Salix 14.1! (Chromium is fast in new Zenwalk but Firefox/Thunderbird has the same problem) I have no virtual machine! There is a notable symptom...

hm,... Sorry my 2 laptops have intel graphics! There it is not necessary to slow down the fan! So i dont know about Laptop and ati-graphics... But I have an Desktop PC with an Radeon HD 5770 and every Distrubtion i tried with open source driver let the fan blown in full speed. I think the most strai...

Hi!

try as root:
"echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/graphics/fb0/device/power_profile"

Damn - it works! libata.dma=0 already helped!! After changing the parameters in "lilo.conf" i have probably forgotten to command "lilo" or made a silly typo. In my defense it was dizzying because sometimes it worked well. By the way: Debian (Wheezy) has other problems (touchpad, ...

thanks for the hint, unfortunately it doesn't work...
I have found and tested many other kernelparameters, the also could not help!
(tested with Slackware too)
So i will stay with the command "rescan-scsi-bus" at the end of boot!
