It turns out that I need to do the same thing under FreeBSD that I did under Linux for my Dell i7500; that is, the suspend works fine if I'm at a console but freezes the box if I'm under X. So I need to switch to a console if X is currently on the display. (It's fine for X to be *running* as long as it doesn't have the *display*.) Under Linux, this was with the "chvt" but FreeBSD doesn't seem to have one of those. I've been sporting about it--I've searched www.freebsd.org and the mailing lists archives and altavista and google, and I've come up empty-handed. So how do I switch to a console other than by hitting CTL-ALT-Fn? PS: And since I gotta post anyway, what gets auto-run when I suspend? I notice that the apmd.conf file has SUSPENDREQs go to rc.suspend, so I can just add whatever command there. But the USERSUSPENDREQ doesn't call the file. But it does do an apm -z at the end; does that really just trigger the SUSPENDREQ event in turn? What is the difference between the two varieties of SUSPENDREQ? Sorry if I'm missing something here. -- "Brian, the man from babble-on" bts@babbleon.org Brian T. Schellenberger http://www.babbleon.org Support http://www.eff.org. Support decss defendents.
