screen standby pblm

[Hybrids]

Sorry for the post again ... i had my box puter down for 1 day (crash) so i didn't receive any mail from this list and i dunno if an answer was given. so i repost the mail i already sent ... sorry for that i have a dell inspiron 7500 with an ATI rage mobility pro M  running a woody on a 2.4.16 and 2.4.17 i have 2 pblms i didn't manage to solve, they are both true with kernel 2.4.16 and 2.4.17 first one : when i don't touch mouse or keyboard for a predefinied time , the screen stopped displaying .. but it's not  a real power off of the screen ... it's just that it's going blanking ... i mean u can see a brigth light by day & night ... i would like it to really shut down but only the screen. second one : i have apmd running ... when i do apm -S it's going to standby mode ..(with this mode the screen is really off --> no bright light), the network card is not stopped but i can't continue a download or a samba share .. when i resume my network connection (3COM FE575C PCMCIA ) is working well . if i do a apm -s ... the sytem go to suspend mode ... the laptop really shut down .. like if u stop it with the power button. so the network card is off too. the pblm is when i do a resume, indeed the network card is not being refresh or re-used .. i got an error .. and i have to reboot the puter for it to work well ... i tried a /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart and a /etc/init.d/networking restart ... but no way to get this NC working again ... i hope u'll understand my frenglish =P Anyone have an idea for this 2 Pblm ?? thks a lot .
