Just as an FYI, FN-A works fine on the i7k too. (Although I usually switch to a text console first to prevent glitches on the screen.) I'm booting using lilo with linux installed on a secondary partition. Sound (just simple beeps) work ok after the FN-A suspend/resume. I had to use phdisk to remove and then re-add the suspend file after repartitioning, but other than that nothing special needs to be done. -phil -- Phil Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://nts.ml.org FAQ: http://www.ps.uci.edu/~tomba/inspiron/ http://nts.ml.org/inspiron/ List Archives: http://nts.ml.org/inspiron/maillist.html To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List administrator: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
