	I've never had it reboot randomly either. And whenever I've put it to
sleep, it hasn't spontaneously woken up for me yet. But that isn't frequently
since I haven't gotten the i1460 to sleep automatically. I would bother with
acpi but 2.3.51 has other problems that I don't feel like dealing with (try
yanking a xircom creditcard 10/100 out without telling linux and reinserting 
it... I get a non-working eth0 and eth1 :) .. doesn't happen under 2.2.14).

	Out of curiousity, anyone have a way of disabling CRTL-ALT-F4 = Sleep..
I hate it when I switch out of X into console 4 and suddenly end up asleep.

	Any sort of CPU/IO activity brings the buzz to audible levels... I can
actually gauge how much work is being done by the amount of buzz :)

	Has anyone else had any problems with that patch server? Its locks up
occasionally for me. I've switched back to the standard XF86_Mach64 from 3.3.6,
and it seems rock solid (been up for 3 days...). From the docs, it doesn't 
appear that 4.0 has accelerated support.

	Otherwise, everything runs happily on my 128MB i1460 + Xircom Credit
Card 10/100...
