If the problem is that the screen looks like that after the display has been turned off, try this: 1. Switch to a character mode display (CTRL-ALT-F2) 2. Turn off the display (varies from laptop to laptop, but usually Fn-F?) 3. Press a key to turn on the display (Display should now look "normal") 4. Return to X display (ALT-F?, varies with OS) Hope this fixes it for you. The problem is common to all m7 based systems, but different BIOS implementations require different key-strokes to turn off the display and different operating systems use different functions keys to select the X vty. On FreeBSD it is Fn-F9 by default. Note: The display must be tuned off. Just turning off the back-light by closing the lid will not work! R.
