Take a look at: http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/presario-2800.html for a useful starting point (a Presario 2800 is the consumer version of the N800c.) That said, I haven't been able to get standby to work on my 2800. Does anyone know what mechanism causes the lid button to turn off the display on these machines? I'd like to control this by monitoring /proc/acpi/events, but something else seems to be picking up the button action and turning off the display (and doing so in a way that it doesn't turn on correctly). /gary ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com
