I have run NetBSD, rather than FreeBSD, but I suspect things will be similar. I used apm, not acpi, and was able to suspend for a long time, but then I had trouble. I set up hibernation (create hidden FAT32 and use tphdisk to write a save2disk.bin that's bigger than ram+video+sum), and then Fn-F12 would write ram to disk and power off. I suspect this is even better than suspend for your application; startup time is < 30s. I never tried acpi. The T30 is a bit chunkier and heavier than other T series, but overall I was happy with it. =2D-=20 Greg Troxel --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (NetBSD) iD8DBQFE7Zup+vesoDJhHiURAr1rAJ4is+lOvJheeSKP3W8hjQErCcBRpQCeLF62 D+c8vYe5OURSVnDOAIBHz64= =uvB1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
