As many people are aware of, when an organisation has had a piece of equipment for some time, the manufacturer's documentation for the device tends to vanish over time (ie, my work laptop). I'm quite sure that there is some key combination on the laptop itself which lets me switch the screen off, or toggle the external battery discharge^W^WVGA output on or off, however what would be an 'interesting' feature would be to be able to do this via FreeBSD itself. Is there such a program (not that I've found one as yet) ? Is it worthwhile to have such a program ? Is there a standard BIOS interface to do this ? Will my bottle of Jolt run out before I expect to finish it ? --==-- Bruce. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
