As I'm a college student I'd like to be able to take my laptop with me from class to class. Take notes, play games, etc etc. However, I've got a few questions / problems. 1) Is there some sort of 'standby' mode like Windows has so that the computer doesn't take as much power, and also is ON. I have at most 10 minutes between classes and really don't want to turn off the laptop just to boot it up again 10 minutes later. And then repeat this 4 times a day. Any Ideas? 2) My laptop runs KDE. Whenver I close the top while its running, and then reopen it, it goes on the fritz (i guess would be the best way to say it). Basically, the middle visual gets cut in half and goes to the top and bottom and the middle is just a solid weird color, and the mouse has no 'real' action on anything. Is there anything I can do to stop this? One reason for this is...I have a cat, who when I'm around likes to disobey me. So it would be nice to be able to close the top when I leave the room for a few minutes and not worry about the cat poking, clawing, sneezing on the monitor. When its closed, he seems to leave it alone (the monitor glow seems to attract him). Currently I move the laptop up high - but he's getting older and smart...so this tactic won't last forever. Ideas?? As always, any help would be greatly appreciated. ~ Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
