Standby
Dear Users, My laptop is ASUS M2Ne, and the OS is FreeBSD 7.0. I would like to keep my PC standby when it is not in use. I have noticed a web page about FreeBSD on laptops (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/laptop/article.html). It says that if I want to figure out if the power management system can support mine, I have to try every possible option. I wonder if there is any list telling what models the apm or acpi system supports? If them can not support the Asus M2Ne, and I want to inquire a related question. If the laptop is on but not in standby or hibernated mode, and I want to bring it with me, moving from a room to another from time to time. Will this action bring damage to my laptop? Should I always shutdown it before I move it? Thanks in advance! -- HUANG Ronggui, Wincent http://ronggui.huang.googlepages.com/ Ph.D. Candidate, CityU of HK Master of sociology, Fudan University, China Bachelor of Social Work, Fudan University, China ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ACPI: Standby, sleep, suspend and resume
Hi: I have the following sysctl parameters: hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3 hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1 First, I'd like that the screen is switched off when the lid closes, so I assume that I should set hw.acpi.lid_switch_state to something, but I don't know what. Second: Is there a way to manually toggle the sleep state so I can create a menu item sleep or standby? Last: When the laptop goes into some suspend mode - I don't know which - I don't know how to bring it back alive except for rebooting. What is the secret key combination? (typically).

These are my settings. This is for a thinkpad T42p, your settings may be
slightly different.

If I close the lid the T42p goes to standby, opening wakes up. The sleep button
fn-F4 does a suspend, again opening the lid does a resume. I have not figured
out suspend to disk but for my purposes suspend draws power so slowly, I have
not bothered.
It may be that you do need something set for hw.acpi.lid_switch_state, I do not.
Resume does not correctly redraw the X-windows background, but it writing this I
noticed I put:
notify 10 {
match system ACPI;
match subsystem Lid;
action /usr/X11R6/bin/xrandr -display :0.0 -s 0;

2nd monitor not powering up (stuck in standby)
Slightly weird problem. I'm running a 5.4-current dual-head Xinerama setup (using two Nvidia FX5500 PCI cards). Powered off my box to move. Powered up box. Second monitor is now stuck in standby state (appears to be not be receiving signal from the motherboard). Monitor that doesn't work is orginally terminated to card in pci slot#2. Remove all the video cards, throw a single card in pci slot #2, get signal. Throw second video card in unused slot (try both #1 and #3), second monitor doesn't get signal. I've verified both monitors are good. Box in question is a Dell Dimension 8400. Dmesg indicates that it detects both cards, xorg config file is good. I've got the latest video drivers, a and pretty recent Xorg version. I've reset BIOS, I've verified from what I can tell that FreeBSD isn't doing anything stupid. Other then thinking it may be a power issue, I'm pretty much stumped. So has anyone seen something similar to this? Many thanks in advance.

Malcolm,
FWIW, there's an option called DPMS in your XF86Config file under the
monitors section. I know you have to have a fairly recent version of X
for this.
Eric,
I was asking specifically about programs on virtual console. But thanks anyway.
It's been there a long time, actually.
On the console, there's a green screensaver and an apm screensaver.
Thanks Lowell,
The green_saver suits my needs rather well.

In my AfterStep configuration, I use xset dpms 600 1200 1800 to set standby (10 min) suspend (20 min) and off (30 min) times. -- David Fleck [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
automatic standby after idle timeout
hello, under windows it is possible to configure the system to enter APM standby after a certain amount of system inactivity. in linux their is a program called sleepd which will initiate an APM standby after a configurable period of system inactivity, which works both on the console as well as while X is running. is there any way to achieve the same effect under freebsd, where the system will enter standby after, say, 10 minutes of no activity? also, can anyone describe the apm_saver.ko KLD? i can't seem to find a description of it anywhere. thank you for your help. mike __ Do you Yahoo!?

APM standby freeze the PC
Hi, I have this configuration: MoBo MSI KT4 Ultra CPU Athlon XP 2400+ Matrox G450 I'd like to keep my computer in standby when I don't use it , but if I give the command : apm -Z in the console appears : ata0: resetting devices... And the system locks up . The Suspend mode works perfectly. On linux the standby works too. My IDE configuration (if this can be of any help ) IDE0: Master: Maxtor 60GB ATA133 Slave: Nec DV5800 DVD Reader IDE1: Master: Quantum Fireball 30GB ATA100 Slave: HP CD-Writer Plus 8100 Thanks for UR help Bye __ Yahoo!

Monitor standby + gnome 2.2 and XFree86-4.2.0
I upgraded from Gnome 1.x and XFree86-3.x to Gnome 2.2 and XFree86-4.2.0 (latest versions of ports) and monitor-standby with xscreensaver stopped working. Under the previous setup, I could set a time for the monitor to go into standby mode, and it would. Now, I set the time, but it never goes into standby. xscreensaver works otherwise, just no standby. I did a google search and saw references to a bug involving DPMS in a Redhat forum, but I didn't quite understand it. Anyone have any suggestions to get it working, or where I might inquire or look?
