You may recall that I manually resized my screen prior to my PASUG presentation last January (and I did the same at Warpstock). I use SNAP Pro. Interestingly enough, this doesn't appear to be in the FAQ. My hunch, however, is that OS/2 may be the limiting factor (akin to our inability to change desktop resolutions without a reboot). Check with the gang at SciTech on this. > * Can I configure my laptop to properly hibernate (and not just > suspend) under eCS? > > With the standalone hibernation utility, it should be possible (I have not tried this on the T43, but I did have it working on my T30). Follow the same procedures as outlined on the ThinkWiki: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Hibernation_mode. I think a big improvement may be made with the ACPI driver (again, I'm not using it as yet), and there is more on this particular topic on ThinkWiki: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_ACPI_work (though mostly aimed at Linux). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
