You may be running into a variant of a problem I had. I sometimes want to step away from the laptop for a moment and close the lid without it going into suspend. No matter how I had configured kpowersave, the laptop kept suspending. Turns out, powerdevil from KDE 4 was putting the system into suspend. Changing the "When Laptop Lid Closed" behavior in powerdevil to "Lock Screen" solved my problem. You should be able to configure powerdevil through "Configure Desktop (Personal Settings/KDE4)"[1], Advanced Tab, "Power Management". The setting you want is probably under "Edit Profiles", (pick each profile in turn), "When Power Button pressed". -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ [1] /usr/bin/systemsettings from the command-line
