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