If you are talking about a low-power ACPI state, then you are indeed talking about suspending the system or hibernating the system. Specifically, ACPI S3 : Suspend to RAM : "Sleep Mode" :: ACPI S4 : Suspend to Disk : "Hibernate". The kernel has support for entering C3 (and I think S1) automatically. I don't know how a Linux-based system can go into S2. If you just want to turn off the monitor, search for DPMS. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
