*blink* wow, ummm, thats, um, very vocal of you *grin*
I agree with you though, it is rather annoying, the first time I noticed
it I got a little angry, though, not quite as angry as you *grin* The
thing to keep in mind here is that they are a telco, 'nuff said *grin*

Sorry... Forgot to mention that I had checked the BIOS settings and
disabled all the power save features already.. So it's not the BIOS
settings, not the setterm settings, not the X settings (I'm not even
running X).. Any other ideas? Like I said, it seems to do it only when
I'm logged in as root. I'll make sure of that for sure though and double
check all those settings before I post to the list about this again k?
