Hi, I have a toshiba 410CS with FreeBSD installed on it.

It appears that the Laptop "falls asleep" (or at least the screen goes
blank) after several minustes of inactivity and it never wakes up (the
screen, that is).

I can reboot it (i.e. keyboard i/o is fine) but the monitor never wakes
up.

BTW, I'm not using X at the moment.

Does anyone have any experience with FreeBSD (or some other UN*X) on
this type of laptop and what to do so that it *does* wake up?
