I see, thx.

I guessed so.

I haven't investigated recent X things before this, so I just presumed that 
LVDS is my "Visual", how shall I say, well, my monitor.  And of course I 
haven't closed the lid.  BTW closing of the lid perfectly switched my laptop to 
suspend mode before this mess now--without me having configured anything (apart 
from having installed pm-utils).

Works well, opens a new Xserver (Xorg) on the chosen VT with an uxterm, then 
typing `enlightenment_start' leads to something coming up which looks like e... 
and after about 2 seconds the monitor is switched off, the hardware I'd say, as 
all VTs are included.  And again, waiting on a (console) VT for about 20" it 
switches back on.  I'm baffled.  O BTW just for info it is a HP Elitebook 
8460P, so not quite something exotic.  Was Windows7 and I installed Debian from 
USB.

As the last thing being called after my `enlightenment_start' seems to be 
gvfsd, I'll try to update gvfs-daemons to see if that might make any 
difference.  Will let you know.

Brgds, e.
