If it's the latter, that doesn't recover the pointer for me. I can change run levels, exit and re-login, nothing seems to recover the pointer. If it's the former, I tried that and it works. Speaking for only suspending from a virtual console, I tried that last night before heading home with my laptop. (With "echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep".) I didn't use it at home as I had expected, but when I came back in today and plugged it back in, the battery power was only at 6%. This suspension state used much more battery than hitting Fn-F4 did in FC1 (with APM). Is there something else I should have done to decrease the power usage? Thanks, pete
