yes, ok, it's a silly subject...but this is what happened. I found /usr/games/morse I realised it could talk to /dev/led/thinklight ( on a Thinkpad). I modified devfs to allow me to write to the led device I run morse -l SOS > /dev/led/thinklight and of course it started blinking asking for help... many laughs later, i decided that it was getting in the way of actually getting any work done... so i tried to figure out how to stop it from sending morse away... It just keeps going on and on... the only way to work around it right now is sending a Morse space (blank) - which switches it off, but if I want to actually use the light, then I can't because after a second it gets powered down too :-) What am I missing? (yes, i guess I could unload acpi_ibm and load again, but i'd like something more elegant...) (same goes for reboot). thanks!!! Beto
