A friend of mine has an older version that automagically suspends to disk if in suspended (suspend to memory) mode and running low on batteries. Sadly, this does not seem to work with FreeBSD. Assuming the z505JE can do it, of course. Hmm... haven't tried with windogs (don't use it much...) Another thing: "apm" seems to consistently report 2x remaining battery life span on for some reason. No big deal, but that was not the case on the Toshiba I used to have. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
