How do I use ACPI and use those cool hibernate and software suspend features. 2. When I tried to connect it to an external monitor and hit Fn + F4. The display didnot get switched to the monitor. The laptop screen just flickered for a second and then nothing happened. I tried the all combos of Fn + (all function keys) but nothing happens. Any suggestions on these issue. Amjith.
