Now thats a good idea, there is a boot option to disable ACPI, and I'll look in the bios too. Trouble is it could appear to work for a week and then do it again. I wonder how to turn logging up? I have an identical system which works fine in linux (e100) but the diea of backing up 153G in /home and finding a linux distro with up to date enough packages, and reinstalling is a bit daunting. > I don't think hardware support in BSD is anywhere near as good as in > Linux. I thought that would be the case, but I am constantly pleasantly surprised at what DOES work.I just plugged a wireless mouse usb gizmo into the lappie and it "just worked" in X, while the trackpad and the nipple in the middle of the keyboard work too. > > Volker
