Can anyone tell me if its possible to tell the Pismo laptop not to go to sleep when you close the screen in OS X? Does anyone know if there is going to be a heat problem running the upgraded hardware with the screen closed? -- Thanks, Andrew McCall [EMAIL PROTECTED] - You can start the Pismo closed with an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Upgraded PowerBook G3 Pismo as OS X Server?
To accomplish Pismo function with lid closed: 1: attach USB mouse 2: close lid - Pismo sleeps 3: click/move USB mouse 4: Pismo wakes then runs without lid open (watch your energy settings for AC power) Things to consider: 1: you should dim the display entirely in case backlighting turns on 2: provide good airflow underneath i.e. got rubber feet? 3: [consider this step 1.5] may need a Monitor -- VGA port or TV -- s-video initially for the Pismo's LCD display to disable when closed - then unplug the extra monitor if it isn't needed I did that with my pismo but I don't have it anymore so I am going by memory. I ran DVD playback from the closed pismo (g3/500) to a TV or external monitor. It would get hot, almost too hot, from so much optical drive usage and decoding/playback. The heat issues you are worried about would be mitigated by: 1: removing optical drive 2: removing battery 3: good airflow around the pismo good luck! - stein -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
