What Steve Cooper mentioned works. Compile APM support into you're kernel. The apm=on in lilo.conf isn't needed... or at least not here. I compiled the proper ATM support into my kernel and now when I do a shutdown -h now, it works. Even under X, my monitor goes into sleep mode and will shutoff after a period of time. This doesn't work all that great when I have the need to boot Windows 98. (ya know, critical apps like Subspace) ;-) Dana
