In any case, the upshot is that if you have ACPI enabled, and you're running powerd(8), you can press the power button, and the system will perform a graceful shutdown. This is much better than the previous situation :-) Enjoy! -- Jason R. Thorpe <thor...@wasabisystems.com>

There are no options listed for what to do when the power button is pressed. There is an option for the sleep button (which I do not have), but no option for power button.

So there seems to be two (probably largely independent) problems: - the hang at shutdown that requires you to press-and-hold the power button to actually cut power. At a guess: putting the VGA device into D3hot makes the ACPI code that actually does the shutoff unhappy. Probably because it wants to access the

I don't think I'm familiar with your BIOS, but I know that mine has a delayed OFF, ie it takes about a four-second hold on the power button to turn the power off. However, I in the BIOS I can enable FAST-OFF, and I like that a lot. I use it. For the time being, I would recommend leaving other functions disabled.
