I'll try Option "NoPM", and XFree86 4.0.2 if I can find a conveniently RH7 compatible RPM. I should point out that I've been using _some_ version of XFree86 4 since before version 4.0 was released. (XFree86 3 doesn't support this laptop's video adapter). Suspend/resume worked fine and reliably until recently. Another problem is that occasionally when X starts now, it will freeze the system. So I suspect a bug was introduced in XFree86 4.0.1. -- Jamie
