Grr ... spoke too soon ... looks like Toshiba stuffed up hibernation on the L100 ... looks like I've got to tell it to hibernate in BOTH the hairy lightbulb as well as the Windows control panel aplet! Do it in just one and it'll just suspend as opposed to hibernate then do funky things when it comes back up again. Of course, now I can't get it to do the suspend then hibernate thing ... its either one or the other ... I might as well give up on trying to get the thing to hibernate ... I hope it drops the power usage enough to not chew up much battery power when in suspend mode ... I found that if I dropped the battery out when suspended, put it back in then tried to power up, I'd just get a black screen. Hardly what you want happening if you're suspending because you're at the end of battery life ... Oh ya, anyone know how to halt hibernation mid-stream? On the L50 you could press backspace to cancel it but it looks like Toshiba decided to get rid of that ... which seems silly because you'd want it more on a machine thats got 64 meg RAM and takes 30 seconds to wake itself up. Speaking of which, I timed the hibernation and restore times, I'd appreciate it if someone else can confirm if these figures are normal or perhaps a little too high. I set Windows power management to hibernate when I pressed the power button ... it took 33.5 seconds from when I first pressed the power button till when the power light flicked off (after writing RAM to disk), and exactly 35 seconds from when I subsequently pressed the power button till the second screen flash (when control is turned over to the user ... when the display first comes up, the mouse is active but clicks or keypresses don't do anything). When in suspend mode, it takes exactly 9 seconds from the button press to when the orange light flashes (no saving to disk) and 7 seconds from a subsequent button press to the second screen flash. Anyone got any idea how to get the L100 to hibernate like the L50? (as in save RAM to disk but not fully turn off until say 10 minutes after so if I want to resume within 10 minutes I can do so 'instantly' whilst after that I can still resume off disk)? - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
