Don't have that laptop myself so I didn't check any of the processes he used to get the lid button working.

Ok, I went to that site:
"Since ACPI depends on the OS to do lots of things, and the XFree86 radeon driver doesn't support dpms yet, I installed at utility from radeontool-1.0 to allow me to turn off the screen. I tied this to the lid button with acpid so it turns off the screen when the lid is closed."
I downloaded that radeontool but when I try to install the rpm via Ximian's Red Carpet it tells me that there are unresolved dependencies and cannot install radeontool. "There are no installable providers of (any)perl(strict)[[Any]] for radeontool-1.5-1[Local Packages]"
Looking at the installable options for perl in Red Carpet's directories, there are dozens to choose from. I don't know enough to know what's what either.
However, I'm not sure this is the route I need to go. When the laptop is booting up, the button in question works just fine. Once gdm has loaded up however, it no longer works. I'm wondering if I need to change some sort of setting in YaST. I don't see how the button can work during bootup but not once the bootup has finished.

You could try dissbling gpm and see if that helps... gpm is mouse support for the console (not X). You can disable it in Yast>System>Runlevel editor. Go into the Runlevel Properties page and disable it, then reboot and see. If it works and you can live without console mouse support then you're fine, otherwise re-enable it.

I had reviewed a SuSE 8.2 setup document for postfix at: http://www.davidkrider.com/suse_8.2.php#postfix It shows that the content of /etc/sysconfig/postfix may be extended using directives that being with POSTFIX_ADD_XX..., for example: POSTFIX_ADD_TLS_SERVER="yes" I am trying this on SLES 8 for AMD64, but the directives do not appear to work. The corresponding directives do not make in to my /etc/postfix/main.cf file. Here is the output when I run SuSEconfig: kingfish:/etc # SuSEconfig --module postfix Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool... Running module postfix only Reading /etc/sysconfig and updating the system... Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.postfix... checking postfix chroot environment... copying missing lib64/security/pam_filter from /lib64/security/pam_filter Setting up procmail as MDA... Setting up medium SPAM protection... Finished. kingfish:/etc # Is the POSTFIX_ADD syntax not supported on SLES 8? Thank you - Richard
