Well.. under Windows the s2d functionality is provided by Windows itself using ACPI.. FreeBSD doesn't do this yet (for lo it is very difficult) :( There is apparently a way to get the BIOS to do suspend (Fn+A) to a seperate partition, but I haven't got it to work :( I found the tools in question by looking here -> http://www.usmedia.nl/joel/inspiron.html I've got the A10 BIOS (so now I can suspend to ram and everything comes back except USB [the mixer volumes are reset to 0 though]) but no suspend to disk :( The BIOS always reports that there is no partition or it is incompatible with this BIOS (depending on the method I try). If you have no luck finding the tool let me know any I'll send it to you. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
