Re: [Thinstation-general] gma 3650 gpu and 1440x900 resolution

Never write messages to lists when in a hurry ... sorry guys!

In fact my client _had_ an ipv6 address. Now that I disabled module ipv6 it doesn't have one. But the 30 sec. break still remains.

TS5.2 didn't have that gap. Here is the /var/log/messages of a boot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ebcebomd22bq854/messages
>> As you can see there is a break between 14:24:36 and 14:25:06
