Honestly I don't know and it would be too much trouble to find out - the system is headless and I can't look a the BIOS settings. I never have changed anything in the BIOS settings on this computer though, so I'm not sure that can explain it not working any more. When I push the power button it does end up showing the KDE log-off dialog with the normal options though - maybe something changed in KDE. Thanks for the suggestion though. C -- C.
