Maybe switch to ACPI when we will support 2.6? So add acpid? I'm not a big specialist of all this stuff, but the move from 2.4+APM-->2.6+ACPI has been a great improvement on my Dell X200 About noflushd : I never succeeded in making it stop my hard disk...mostly because my system always has something to do all the time..:-) I may recommend laptop-net which I use for context switching (home, work, offline and so on). There are other such context switching packages, but no idea which are most used. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
