The battery is shot so it doesn't stay up for a second on a power failure. I have recently started experiencing a problem where if the display has been blanked by KDE because of being idle and I have a power failure then when the laptop boots up I have a completely blank display. I wait till I think it is up and do a blind login as my KDE session starts up it turns on the display. When is it booting I don't see anything - not the bios screen nothing. This is very disconcerting. The first time it happened I thought my lcd panel had died. Any ideas on how to keep this from happening. I don't think this happened on previous kernels. Thank, Steve -- "They that give up essential liberty to obtain temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
