This could be due to the settings for pbbuttonsd. There are two power related utilities that I recall: pbbuttons and pmud. To check the former try the command 'powerprefs' from the command line (or equivalent to invoke 'PowerPrefs' from a gui). Look for the settings under both AC and battery. There is a setting for the number of seconds until suspend occurs. You can change this to a more appropriate value or set to 0 (no suspend). If you choose the latter then the machine will run till the battery is close to running out (this is set by pmud). The pmud setting is in /etc/power/levels, I don't recall if there is a gui to set it. If this is not the problem I don't have any other ideas at the moment. -- Stephen Harker [email protected] PEMS u...@adfa _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - [email protected] Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
