Hi To get the suspending/resuming properly working I discovered that I need to start the apm daemon 'apmd'. this is manually done by 'rcapmd start'. but I would like to have it started at EVERY booting/startup. please let me know where and how to do this. some years ago one could define 'START_APMD="yes"' in the file /etc/rc.config, but it seems this file doesn't exist in SUSE 9 any more many,many thanks christoph -- +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ Neu: Preissenkung für MMS und FreeMMS! http://www.gmx.net
