4.4-Stable seems to lock up after being in a low power state for more than a few minutes, whereas 4.2 did no such thing. Perhaps my thinking is post hoc ergo propter hoc because some hardware has changed as well. BIOS is currently setup such that only the monitor should be powered down (V/H sync and blank) and such that an event on nearly any device will wake the system up. Presumably FreeBSD doesn't care what BIOS says after boot, so: -Using power saver screen saver (just changed to a different saver) -Tried both with and without the APM option on the kernel config file Monitor will turn off after about 5 minutes. 5 minutes or so later, the system is hard locked and will respond only to brute force (reset, unplug). It seems to lock to the degree that the ATX power switch and CTRL-ALT-DEL are ignored. Changes made to hardware since 4.2: From G-400 vid card to Kyro 2 (Video shouldn't effect APM, should it?) BIOS update (Fixed minor cosmetic bugs) Hardware: Athlon classic 750MHz on MSI 6167 MB, using on-board IDE controllers/80 conductor cables, 256MB PC133RAM @ 100MHz (750 chipset is old, remember) The system will build the world all day. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
