If it works, -a 2 is "good enough" :-)
OK. There is a further PM issue which I've only just pinned down after installing SUSE 10.2. I can chase more, esp. if you give me some pointers, but I thought I'd mention in now in case you've seen it before. I'm running FVWM2 on standard SUSE 10.2, so the desktops are not interfering/(taking proper control) ;-) Anyway, the curio I've notices is that: 1. *boot up* in SUSE 10.2, and FVWM (as default WM) 2. my .profile contains "xset dmps 0 0 300" [I've also tried just "xset dmps 300" and "xset dmps 0 300" so the screen correctly powers off after 5 mins inactivity. 3. BUT, after running "/usr/bin/powersave" and restore, then I find that while the screen powers off after 5 mins, after a few seconds (3-40 seems to be the range I can make, rather variable but I can't accurately control it [= some daemon?]) the backlight turns on, even though the screen shows no video. I believe is also the case with s2ram and pm-suspend. This suggests that powersave/s2ram does not reset enough of the video controller (unfortunately I'm not an expert on the h/w control here). Have you seen this before/any ideas. Don't waste much time on it unless it's useful to your development work.
