I was wondering if any other T-series ThinkPad users have seen >something like this? That's one reason why I haven't switched to FreeBSD 5 yet. Under STABLE, the only XFree86 vs. power management problem comes with hibernation. When my T23 wakes up after hibernation, XFree86 is frozen. I have to switch to an ASCII console (ctrl-alt-f1) and back to X (alt-f12) to get it to limber up. If the hibernation is manual rather than automatic, I can transition to ASCII console first before hibernating, and there is no wake-up freeze, but automatic because of flat battery is the usual reason to hibernate. -- M/S 258-5 |1024-bit PGP fingerprint:|tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59| (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000| 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6|FAX: (650) 604-4377 Not an official NASA position.
