In doing so, to my surprise I found out that when I suspend my computer in FreeBSD, it isn't suspended at all! I have an ATX case with an Asus P2B motherboard. When I suspend my computer, the power led starts flashing (and keeps doing so). When I suspend my computer in Linux or Windows, as mentioned, the computer gets quiet (HDD spins down etc). The led flashes. Now I found out that when I suspend it in FreeBSD (either with sleep 1; zzz or with the suspend button or through the BIOS timer), the led starts flashing, but processes just keep running! I never paid attention to it, but I got suspicious because I'm running setiathome which accesses the harddrive occasionally, and even during suspend mode I heard the typical HDD sound sometimes. So the problem is not an incomplete suspend, but no suspend at all. It seems to suspend at first, the led starts flashing, the screen is blanked, but somehow the computer keeps running. -- Peter Mutsaers | Abcoude (Utrecht), | Trust me, I know plm@xs4all.nl | the Netherlands | what I'm doing. ---------------+---------------------+------------------ Powered by FreeBSD (-current).
