The BIOS almost certainly takes one look at the video controller and swears off being able to restore it, and thus gives up on suspending. If you switch back to the text console (alt-ctrl-F1), you should be able to suspend OK. Then it's just a matter of switching back to the X display again (alt-ctrl-f4 normally) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
