Twiddling this sysctl while the tv=20 out was active yielded the same results as the lcd, except it stayed at 0. My laptop's asl: http://am-productions.biz/debug/littleguy.asl I'd be happy to do more testing. =2D-=20 Anish Mistry --Boundary-02=_fsFGALgIFfob3sA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAGFsfxqA5ziudZT0RAghLAJsE4UoSMaT0pdTGlwybq8vWt3arZgCfeatN Lc6yTzdi/qlbQ5L68MuFZYA= =iWy6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_fsFGALgIFfob3sA--
