I'll give that a shot then.

Sure!  I'll see what I can do in the next couple of days or so.

Yeah, I've got a lot of respect for those guys.  I'll post a note
to the list if I do file one.

Alright, that's a separate matter then.

By the way, I use "xset dpms force off; xlock -mode blank" on my
laptop to turn off the backlight and lock the screen.  You do have
to enable it in xorg.conf but it works well for me.  I'll check that
on the Mac when I get it running.
