More Inspiron 4000 issues...
Hello lads,
Has anyone tried the power-saving (suspend) mechanisms on the inspiron
4000? Even the display timeout crashed my X-Server, yet in console-mode
it works. Haven't tried real suspend yet, but I guess it won't work.
I wonder why the display timeout option crashes X, has anybody dealt with
something simlar?
Another issue is the shutdown. It should power off automatically, since I
have enabled APM in the kernel, and also added the "append apm=on" directive
in /etc/lilo.conf. It just sits there and says "Power down". I saw this
option in the kernel config:
**
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF:
Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.
**
Is this the thing I need? I don't like admitting my BIOS is buggy ;-)
