How do I do this in PCBSD?
(I am not a programmer)

What laptop (I assume laptop) are you trying to do this on?

just on a regular desktop PC,
sometimes it is nice to not have to turn off the whole system and then opening all the previous apps.

Well, the odds are that your desktop machine does not have the same ACPI type stuff that a laptop has. Your best bet is probably just to use the screensavers ability to turn off the monitor.

Anyone else have any other idea? I've been carrying around a laptop for so long that I have not tried anything like this on a desktop machine in a LONG LONG time.

Hi, this a redular pc. When I use xp it just works. So it can be done.

And PCBSD won't install at all, it seems to hang up with the pretty yellow flower... any ideas?
