Subject pretty much says it all.

I have knx-hdinstall 'ed Knoppix v3.3 onto my hard drive, and even though I disable apm, and any other "laptop" type shutdowns from within the BIOS, as soon as Debian/Knoppix begins to boot off the hard drive, I can see it saying: "APM disabled in BIOS, re-enabling..."

The problem I am having is, no matter what I change, in any settings, or configs, after "who knows how long" of minutes, my screen goes BLACK for a few seconds, and then comes back to its original. It appears that whatever is causing this to happen, still keeps the system up and running, if I click on something, just before this happens, after the screen comes back, the "something" is either being started, has started, or possibly even completed, during this BLACK OUT...

My assumptions have me thinking it has something to do with Power Management, and I HATE power management - If I cared how many "milliwatts" I could save by shutting down my monitor, or spinning down my hard drives, when "something" thinks I don't need them anymore, I might have a few pennies saved. But I don't care - when I have something ON, it should stay ON - If I want it OFF, I will turn it OFF. If I was running on a laptop, I would care about conservating energy, but I'm connected to a POWER PLANT, with a 90 minute UPS atop of that, "I don't need no stinkin' energy conservation" [giggle]

Someone have the answer? Who can be first to post to this simple question? [the clock is ticking]
