I am running a dell640 lap top with Hardy. I have two problems, but, one at a time.
most importantly, the laptop seems to hibernate when I close the lid for more than 10 minutes, still operating, but, black screen. it will not wake up. I end up, having to restart it the hard way (pushing the power button till it turns off, then push it again to start it up) then it works fine until I let it sit again. I've tried changing the power management settings to no avail. I am a complete n00b, and can barely function with terminal. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

PS; After this I'll deal with the wireless B43 issue.

Sorry can't help, this is to point out same prob/question on same machine posted back in July under thread "When laptop is opened after closed, the screen remains black" but no reply yet so I'm still not shutting lid, not very practical
