Would be nice to emulate this behavior... I'm not too sure about APM but I know this (or something similar) can be done with ACPI as it's what I do right now with my power button. Give 2.4's ACPI a go. If it doesn't work, see about trying the patches from the acpi team (I believe Andrew Grover from Intel heads it). Also, don't forget to install the acpid package. IIRC there is a Windows XP option that allows you to specify what action you want taken when the power button is depressed, the cover is closed, so apparently these functions are in some sense programmable -- David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
