Ann, when you say remains idle, do you mean going into one of the power 
management modes?  I found that powering down under Windows 7 had some annoying 
side effects, forcing me to reboot, so I turned off power management.  In this 
case, It's really not easy being green.  Come to think of it, we don't use it 
at work either;  We freeze our screens for security, but that's it.

Thanks for confirming this, Ann. Though it isn't a good sign that FS recommends 
a course of action that doesn't work, at least I know now that the behavior  
isn't particular to my display. Incidentally, pressing a key on the display 
doesn't work for me either.

I think I will email FS tech support just to have it documented. Can't hurt, 
right?
