tcma Member Registered: Aug 2004 Distribution: gentoo, Fedora Core Posts: 54 Rep:	pressing <Fn><F8> keys hangs emachines M6807 I installed 32 bit x86 linux 2.4.26-r6 on emachines M6807. Inside kde, pressing the <Fn><F8> keys to increase the brightness of the screen will hang the laptop. My boot parameter in grub.conf file is: pci=noacpi noapic If these one or both two parameters are not used, same problem occurred. --- Edit: Problem is solved by using 2.6.7-r11 kernel.
