When you close the lid the BIOS will try to force the OS to go to sleep. If you manage to turn of all support for APM in the kernel and all drivers (including X) the BIOS should fail and the computer would run the same way as it does with the lid open. Except for stuff that the computer can handle by itself, as backlight. Not 100% on how its actually done (if its purely Bios, or if you can directly access the information from HW. Probably both). ... > works perfectly, which means nothing crashes when closing the lid Somehow X detect that you close the lid. You could try to turn of all APM support from Bios, that should do the trick (unless X reads directly from HW, I do not know if that is possible). But I do get the feeling that Ive missread the orginal post :-( // Jarmo _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
