Is this a >common thing? If so, is there a fix for it? When the screen is closed on the FX I believe it automatically switches video output from the LCD to the CRT. It does this in anticipation of you putting the machine into a docking station. If this is correct you should be able to recreate this by using Fn-F12 to rotate LCD -> CRT -> LCD+CRT (LCD -> LCD+CRT -> CRT?). I don't know if it is exactly related, but others have reported that the system is poorly behaved when trying to suspend from an X window as opposed to the console. You might try the same Fn-F12 experiment from the console. If that works better you may just need to switch to the console before closing the lid. > Other than that, I'm happy to report that the "Little Laptop that Could" >now can... *grins* I like my FX, although I like my Winbook XL's BIOS more. The FX had 230 days uptime as my gateway before I took it down for experimentation. Greg _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
