No, I was replying to a message from debian-user. I left both groups this time since others have. > >> I actually posted one solution to the debian-laptop list this morning.

On my system I have: freedom /etc/apm/event.d $ ls 00hwclock* 01chvt* pcmcia* >> #!/bin/sh >> # change to vt1 when suspending to keep X from locking >> >> if [ "$1" = suspend ]; then >> chvt 1 >> fi Since I'm usually in X, I added: if [ "$1" = resume ]; then chvt 7 fi I'd prefer to go back to the same virtual terminal I was on. Is there a way to query the system for what tty is active? I tried putting "/usr/bin/tty >/tmp/ttysuspend" into my script, but all I ever see in the output file is "not a tty". Does it work properly in your case statement? /usr/bin/tty seems to provide something in /dev if I run it in an xterm or on the console. >> >> Of course after suspending the system comes back up on vt 1, but I can >> easily switch back to X if it keeps the system from crashing. > > I still have my case statement in there, to not switch if it is currently > on tty[1-9]. It seems to work very well if I use "apm -s" as root, but if > I close the laptop display, it doesn't switch and it locks up... any > ideas? No ideas about your problem, here's what happens for me in X: apm -s change to vt 1, suspend to disk close on ac power no effect (bios option) close on battery change to vt1, suspend to disk Good luck. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Alantro Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED]
