At least the sleep and the wake isn't going to work for now. Apparently there is a conflict between the video card and the power management. Apple apparently worked around it yet but nobody on the Linux side has figured it out yet and well Apple isn't sharing. It'll get figured out eventually but it's going to take a while. When I first got my Titanium some things didn't work quite right. Now everything works. It just takes time. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
