As I'm a college student I'd like to be able to take my laptop with me fr= om=20 class to class. Take notes, play games, etc etc. However, I've got a fe= w=20 questions / problems. =20 1) Is there some sort of 'standby' mode like Windows has so that the com= puter=20 doesn't take as much power, and also is ON. I have at most 10 minutes=20 between classes and really don't want to turn off the laptop just to boot= it=20 up again 10 minutes later. And then repeat this 4 times a day. Any Idea= s? 2) My laptop runs KDE. Whenver I close the top while its running, and t= hen=20 reopen it, it goes on the fritz (i guess would be the best way to say it)= =2E =20 Basically, the middle visual gets cut in half and goes to the top and bot= tom=20 and the middle is just a solid weird color, and the mouse has no 'real'=20 action on anything. Is there anything I can do to stop this? One reason= for=20 this is...I have a cat, who when I'm around likes to disobey me. So it w= ould=20 be nice to be able to close the top when I leave the room for a few minut= es=20 and not worry about the cat poking, clawing, sneezing on the monitor. Wh= en=20 its closed, he seems to leave it alone (the monitor glow seems to attract= =20 him). Currently I move the laptop up high - but he's getting older and=20 smart...so this tactic won't last forever. Ideas?? As always, any help would be greatly appreciated. ~ Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
