Then you propably also noted that mostly if THAT happens apm -C wont do anything. So the SpeedStep is out of function and the CPU runs on 100% not matter if you started apmd and used apm -C or not. If you face this you can kinda ensure that you wont be able to "halt -p". The problem is propably ACPI related but as I talked about this behavior a while ago I got ignored because nobody had those "issues". Also something I face is that if you do switch offen from X to console you sometimes have a grafic Bug in the Console. Either a thin line wich is NOT getting "drawed" or other things wich are strange somehow. But switching then Back to X and then again to console fixes this. The same behavior can get seen at X too (and the same work around works there as well). So sometimes I simply have some "lines" at my screen. If you saw something like that as well it would be nice. Kind regards, Sebastian
