I tried to follow all the indications, but nothing. I did: # apt-get install gdm gnome # apt-get install x-window-system x-window-system-core # apt-get install kde kde-core , but when I do: '$ startx' it says something like: XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. I can't report the whole output because I can't obviously copy and paste. As for the file /etc/rc.conf, it does not exist in my system. Other hints? Maybe something wrong in the laborious xfree86 setting? There are many questions I don't know how to answer, so I simply type 'Enter'. Tanks, Rodolfo

Paulo,
I've attached my /etc/apm/event.d/local file. You should be able to
simply drop it in place and edit the portions that don't apply to you
(like stop-networks and esd commands). You'll probably replace
uhci_hcd with ehci_hcd unless you've blacklisted ehci_hcd too.
--8<---cut here---start->8---
#! /bin/sh
# The ath_pci (used with the wireless network) and uhci_hcd (used with
# USB devices on docking station and Bluetooth) modules don't recover
# after suspending under 2.6 and udev. So, take down all networks upon
# suspend. Remove and insert uhci_hcd upon resume. The networking
# scripts will handle resetting the ath_pci module.
#
# Finally, esd gets hosed after a suspend and resume, so kill it
# before suspending and start it on resume. Starting it as wohler is
# ugly, but works.
#
# See apmd(8) for a description of the parameters passed to this script.
case "$1,$2" in
suspend,*)
stop-networks
killall esd

modprobe -r uhci_hcd

esac
exit 0
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
And stop-networks, which I put in /usr/local/sbin.
--8<---cut here---start->8---
#! /bin/sh
# Stop all normal networks.

for i in $networks; do

done
