nfs depends on portmapper. Disable portmapper too.below settings are for beginners, but you should learn what these are for: aaeventd if you don't want and don't know how to use apparmor disable this (also switch to expert mode and disable boot.apparmor)acpid leavealsasound leaveatd disableauditd disableautofs disableautoyast disablecron leavecups (if you have printer leave othervise disable)cupsrenice (see above)dbus leaveearlykbd leave!!! keaboardearlykdm leaveearlysyslog leveesound disablefam disablefbset disablegpm disablegssd disablehaldaemon leaveidmapd disablejoystick disable (unless you are using it)kbd leave keyboardksysguardd disablelirc disablelm_sencors disablemdadmd disablemdnsd disablemircocode (if you are using AMD CPU disable, leave for intel)network leavenfs disable (first disable portmap)nfsboot disablenfsserver disablenmb disablenovell-zmd (well this is famous suse updater, if you are using other PM disable, otherwise leave, but this piece of c**p crashes frequently)nscd disablentp disableopenct disablepscsd disableportmap disablepostfix disablepowerd disablepwersaved (leave for suspend, othervise disable)random leaveraw disableresmgr leaverpasswdd disablersyncdrunning-kernel disablesaslauthd disablesmb disablesmbfs disablesmpppd disablespamd disablesplash leave (or not - this is splash screen during boot process)splash_early leaveSuSEfirewall2_setup leavesvcgssd disablesyslog leavexdm leavexfs disablexinetd disableybind disablethe above settings are for simple workstation you should also disable sshd not listed by you. for some services there is not really value e.g. running-kernel (this is not kernel, but info about), moreover this sevice will start after each kernel upgrade, so each time you will have to stop it.I suggest to learn about apparmor, nfs, and samba/nfs, xinetd at least and when you know and need these, start services and configure them.If you disable earlysyslog/syslog you will not be able to use network. cron is needed for several services so you should leave running these.hope this will help

Thanks! but I actually found a better solution here:https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+sourc...6.15/+bug/34697Changing the BIOS as follows:Advanced -> CPU Configuration -> Execute Disable Function -> Enabledworks around the bug beatifully. I can now restart X without problems and still use the i810 driver (including 3D acceleration and DVI out)...I also found this:http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ushankar/linux-dell.htmlwhich may (or may not) help mmarkvillanueva with his configuration problem (look for 915resolution under "Video support"). For me this was not an issue, so I didn't try this.
