Do you have something other than the base system installed?
It was late when I wrote my email last night and realised once I’d gone to bed that the last part about automatically going to sleep may be confusing. I’m dealing with a few issues on the system, and I’ve accidentally wrapped two of them up in to one email. Apologies! > If by sleeping automatically you mean only when the lid is closed, then try > checking in /etc/devd/, but I'm not sure that will be it, since when I > installed my system there wasn't anything lid-related turned on by default. > Make sure also that sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state is NONE. The bit about automatically sleeping is when the machine is running X - the monitors go off and won’t come back on without restarting X. From what I’ve read this is an X / Nvidia driver issue so please ignore this part of my email. Apologies again for the confusion. Just to clarify, it’s a desktop machine with no lid to close, and it doesn’t automatically sleep via ACPI, it just hangs when trying to suspend.
