Good point. Declan, try this: After making sure vbetool is installed, log into a console on vt1. Type: vbetool post - but don't hit return. Suspend/resume. When everything's stabilized (the disk's stopped working), if you don't have a screen, press Enter. If the problem is just the blank console, this should bring it up. I've _always_ had this problem with my Inspiron 6000 when hibernating (my machine doesn't do "suspend") from a console (it didn't used to be a problem if I did it from my KDE session, though it broke with some kernel upgrade, and I added "vbetool post" permanently to the resume script). -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
