Well it did it again last night. I had left the machine for about 1/2 hour with everything running (all my apps that is). When I came back to it, the screen had shut down (as it always does even with my power stuff disabled) that could be the monitor though. Anyway, I came back, and moved my mouse which startred the monitor up, but everything was frozen hard. This time the Caps Lock and Scroll lock were on, but not blinking. So there is something going on inside, If a mouse movement can trigger the monitor to come out of sleep, it doesn't seem like this is a bios, but a software issue, maybee as Jostein had mentioned with X The list of apps that were running are: Kmail Gkrellm Ymessenger Mozilla (latest & greatest) VMware (2 win2k sessions) xconsole That's about it. My first choice would be that vmware is causing me grief. Anyone have similar situation? Thanks, Ron On Friday 11 January 2002 20:10, you wrote:

David,
What version of kde did you upgrade to? I also recently upgraded to kde2.2.2
kde 2.2.2 from the SuSE site (dated jan 4, 2002) mantel kernel 2.4.16-21
It's really too soon for me to be blaming kde but that was my only recent upgrade (more than a week). Currently I'm wondering if it might be a power management conflict. Normally I use the on off switch for power management but it seems like I had some unexpected settings in that area.
I'll keep you posted
