Im just starting out and have installed FBSD on my laptop[DEll inspiron 600m], its a dual boot with WinXp and FBSD RELEASE 5.0. I think that that FreeBSD successfully probed the power management features(ACPI) because if I close the lid the thing suspends(my theory) and when i open it, it's hanged, nothing responds. Can't open new terminals, can type anything, nothing. its dead. Does anyone know if I can turn this off? ANd is my theory correct in the first place(that the machine has been suspended). I would appreciate any help you guys could give. I really wish i could understand the power-saving devices on this box. Yours, Rommel
