I had to install SuSE 8.2 Pro with the ACPI-option disabled, so I wouldn't know for sure, but isn't it possible to edit parameters for ACPI by using YaST2 Control Center | /etc/sysconfig-editor | System | Powermanagement | ACPI? /Lars Tony LaPaso wrote:
Hi all,
I am trying to move from Windows to SuSE and I'm seeing some things I was hoping someone could explain.
First, I am brand new to Linux -- only a few days now.
I'm running SuSE 8.2 Personal w/KDE. My machine is new and it's ACPI compliant.
I'm finding that if left alone for a while (I don't know exactly how long), the machine seems to power itself down automatically. I'm trying to prevent this behavior.
I have gone into "Control Center | Power Control | Display Power Control" and I made sure that all three options ("Standby after", "Suspend after" and "Power off after") were disabled. I even tried clearing the "Enable display power management" checkbox but nothing seems to help. The machine always seems to power down on its own.
The second question I wanted to ask is, how can I make my mouse cursor larger? There is an option, in the "Control Center", I believe, for "Peripherals | Mouse | General | Large Cursor" but that seems to have no effect. The cursor is always small, even after re-boot.
If anyone can offer some suggestions I would be very grateful.
Thanks.
Tony
