Well the only thing I know about is dmidecode for getting info, and it won't 
cooperate on this I-friend machine. It's a 1.3GHz Celeron processor, circa 
2003.

Thanks for the feedback. At least Zyn is working on your machine with KDE, so 
it seems to be a problem with KDE, and my hardware. Odd though that Zyn works 
ok on the same machine with FC1,2,3,4, and 5, and also Debian Sarge, Etch, 
Lenny, Slackware 10.0, Kubuntu, and Gentoo.

I'm at a  bit of a loss, as to what the problem is. I've posted the problem to 
different lists, but with no feedback. Perhaps it's just a problem with my 
machine, that noeone else is seeing.

Nigel.
