but unloading all the modules while my sound-applications i.e. are running is probably not gonna work. Keeping them open however is one of the things i like about suspend. :/ Is it possible to properly automate this? The usb module I tried to unload in the lid-event-script. But it wont work. :/ greetings Timo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
