What is the difference between suspend and standby? I am trying to set the powersave daemon to turn off my hard drive when I close the lid of my laptop. I have tried setting it to both suspend and standby, but neither setting turns off the hard drive, I can hear it running still. When I am running win98, and close the laptop, I can hear the hard drive spin down. So I know it supports acpi. I have updated to all the latest packages available from suse. Anything else I can do to get the drive to shutdown. I imagine its not good for the drive to be spinning while I'm carying my laptop and walking across campus. ===== Stephen Checkout my homepage http://www.public.asu.edu/~swiebel/index.html Please donate to my college fund. I work full time and go to ASU, but with the tuition hikes the last few years its getting really tough to pay $5700 a year in tuition. I'm maxed out on student loans. https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=shackman97%40yahoo.com&item_name=My+college+fund&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&tax=0¤cy_code=USD Please help.
