Does your laptop support apm in the BIOS at all? Out of curiosity I've added code to turn off the LCD panel to my latest driver version. I don't know if it will do anything for your backlight. It also might not restore the screen after a suspend. If you'd like to give it a shot let me know what happens. When trying a test where you may loose the screen, either 'sync' your disks just before going into suspend, or have a remote connection available so you can perform a clean shutdown. -- Kevin http://www.user1.netcarrier.com/~kbrosius/pages/virge.html _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
