It appears that the Laptop "falls asleep" (or at least the screen goes blank) after several minustes of inactivity and it never wakes up (the screen, that is). I can reboot it (i.e. keyboard i/o is fine) but the monitor never wakes up. BTW, I'm not using X at the moment. Does anyone have any experience with FreeBSD (or some other UN*X) on this type of laptop and what to do so that it *does* wake up? -Pat
