I have seen many posts on the archive, but could not find any response to this. I have disabled APM from the BIOS, and disabled it from X, from everywhere. But the machine goes off, I don't know by which magic ?? This is really annoying, because on the way, it completely freezes the system. In this case, the only thing I can do is to force power off, reboot, of cource fsck. My current fix : I force from X a suspend after 20 minutes, in this case it's doing fine, I can resume the machine. However, when I am connected to a LAN, it's not even able to restart correctly the network interface, I have to do it manually and try several times at once ! I first suspected my Hardware, but apparentely it's not, since other people seem to have the same problem on other machines with this distrib (7.2). I have a laptop Fujitsu E Series. Sorry to say that, but in this particular case, Linux mandrake (7.2) is unuseable. Don't tell me that I have to go back to that other operating system, since it has not this problem at all ?? Or should I throw away mandrake and try another distrib (since even when you buy it, official support does not even dare to answer, that another thing really annoys me even more). Patrick Diligent
