[SOLVED]: Laptop question

ONEEYEMAN · Advocate Joined: 01 Mar 2005 Posts: 3674

Hi, ALL,
When I close the lid of my laptop the screen goes black. There is no "hybernate" script installed.
Is there a way to wake it up?

Thank you.

P.S.:
It's a DELL E1505...

It would help to know the laptop model. Pressing the power button sometimes works.

EDIT: it might.

Wouldn't it reboot the laptop?

Thank you.

Read my second post down and try that. If that doesn't work post details.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Kernel & Hardware.
Not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here.
