Aha! Many thanks. That article lead me to realize there's an ACPI module in Yast. Hence, the answer to my question is... YaST > System > Power Management > ACPI Settings > Power Button. There are sevral options: Notify, Shut Down, Log Out, Switch to Standby, Suspend to RAM, Suspend to Disc, Start Screen Saver, Ignore I switched to "Notify" and all is now well. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.livebeans.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
