Was it maybe a comment here? As in.. a comment I made? A year ago, apparently. It looks like I ultimately threw in the towel and opted for only power managing. My memory recall is that the conflict kept locking my Debian install up to the point of requiring a hardware button reboot. That obviously kills anything you have open and are working on at that moment. If I get my newest debootstrap booting, I'll play with it, too. I do like those screensavers as well as the artistic talent it takes to create them. :) Cindy :) -- Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * N.B. elbrus 5 minutes after I posted yesterday: "bookworm freeze" (as in.. not trixie).
