I'm glad to see some improvement, but it's still far from ideal. I'm afraid that I have no idea why the ALT-F7 does not work. On FreeBSD it's ALT-F9 to return to X, but that works fine for me. Sorry, but I don't see anything obvious. It would be great if someone could come up with a solution to the base problem of turning the display off and on when in hi-resolution. I really think it's a BIOS issue, though. I may try bugging IBM a bit. They are pretty supportive of open source so they may be of some help. It's clear that there i a solution available as it's not a problem with Windows. Out of curiosity, are you using APM or ACPI? I'm using APM because of problems in the IBM ECDT which they have promised to fix. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
