Actually, the screensaver is working again (I restarted the xscreensaver daemon), so I'll leave acpi off for awhile and see if doesn't cure the 'X chewing up CPU' problem (like it's a huge problem...log out, log back in ;-)) I remember back when 2006 first came out, I saw a lot of posts like this. Why would acpi be installed by default on a desktop system, when in MCC it even states quite clearly that this is for laptops?? Thanks for your replies, I didn't think anyone would still be following this thread :-) -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Behind every great fortune is a crime." -- Balzac ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
