Now to deal with the fact that i get a black screen where I should be seeing twm, and the fact that after hitting C-M-BS I don't get my syscons back. :( Is there no winning? :) (Do I have to install twm too?

I don't like the idea of my 17" trinitron sitting there acquiring burn-in of console text, even though it would be AWESOME. I don't need suspend support so much - I'm fine leaving boxes running for days, weeks, months at a time. :) Thanks very much. --=-o1YiHnIc6ySzzdiR+Avd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkj3b/oACgkQRtTtv0BbTe5LEgCfUBehwHPof2/wfZ6mZo0FOscb 8pgAnA94tGlQlV+VZtyQPMDZGOgzjmym =nGjF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-o1YiHnIc6ySzzdiR+Avd--
