This also happens to me on my Thinkpad R32 if I reboot from WinXP and go into FreeBSD and start X, the laptop just freezes, cannot be reached over the network and I have to remove the battery. However, if I shut down the computer from XP, then start FreeBSD, X works just fine for me. I don't think it's a FreeBSD specific issue, as it did the same thing with both OpenBSD and Debian Linux installed - I *had* to power off the computer when going from WinXP into FreeBSD. I'm not sure if a warm boot of FreeBSD will cause the same behaviour, so just to be safe I always just power it off. On another note, I can't seem to get the laptop to suspend at all. It does suspend under X using "apm -z" but then when I turn it back on, the display gets all funky and the laptop needs to be powered off and the battery removed. If I do 'acpiconf -s 5' the box just shuts down. *shrug* so for now I just close the lid, at least that kind of blanks the display. josh
