Hmm... don't know about the Toshiba, but it sounds like a partitioning problem as your computer is trying to save the contents of the RAM during suspend mode. I'm quessing, when you leave it for a while your computer goes into suspend mode to save energy. So one of two things is happening, your computer is really asleep, and clicking the mouse a few times, or tapping the power button once and waiting a little bit will wake it up. Or... You don't have suspend to disk partition. Your computer may need this to successfully enter suspend mode. I know that Dell offers a program to create this partition on their systems, maybe Toshiba does too?
I would suggest first checking to make sure that apmd (advanced power management deamon) is starting up on boot. You can go to Mandrake Control Center, go to Services in the System menu, and make sure "On Boot" is selected for apmd. This is the system service that manages power management on laptops. Also, make sure that you did not disable apmd in InteractiveBastille. The latest version of this program adds an option to disable this service as you don't seem to need it on desktops. If this doesn't work you can disable system suspension in your BIOS. I supose this is more of a short-term sollution untill you manage to get this question resolved. -Paul rodr�guez On Thu, 2001-10-18 at 13:01, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > It is Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 > > dech > Paul Rodr�guez wrote: > > > > Out of curiosity, what Laptop are you currently using? > > > > -Paul Rodr�guez > > > > On Wed, 2001-10-17 at 16:12, dwang wrote: > > > > > > Hi > > > > > > I installed Mandrake8.0 on my laptop.
