I would like to keep my PC standby when it is not in use. I have noticed a web page about "FreeBSD on laptops" (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/laptop/article.html). It says that if I want to figure out if the power management system can support mine, I have to try every possible option. I wonder if there is any list telling what models the apm or acpi system supports? If them can not support the Asus M2Ne, and I want to inquire a related question. If the laptop is on but not in standby or hibernated mode, and I want to bring it with me, moving from a room to another from time to time. Will this action bring damage to my laptop? Should I always shutdown it before I move it? Thanks in advance! -- HUANG Ronggui, Wincent http://ronggui.huang.googlepages.com/ Ph.D. Candidate, CityU of HK Master of sociology, Fudan University, China Bachelor of Social Work, Fudan University, China
