Odd; I had expected that it *would*, but when I tried it on my brand new ASUS board it didn't, nor on the Tyan box next to me. Suspend works (but not with the power button), but power off didn't, hence the conclusion that something "different" was involved. Sounds like I should try it again to be sure. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
