The other day, I left my computer idle for a long time while booted in Warp. The hard drive spun down, but the monitor didn't shutdown. When I tried to resume, I managed to get a OS/2 command window started from the launchpad, but never got focus in that window. I couldn't bring up a window list, open anything else, Ctl-Esc. Eventually the keyboard buffer filled (I got beeps on every keypress). I had to C-A-D to reboot the system (which, through a series of problems led me to having to re-install Warp - probably some user brain damage there). My computer is a Zeos Pantera 90Mhz Pentium, I had the power management enabled in the BIOS. I didn't install "Advanced Power Control" in Warp; is a driver required for that? I recall reading the help section and thinking it was only for notebooks, but I certainly could have been mistaken. Right now, I've got the power management disabled in the BIOS, but I'd prefer to have it working. Is this a Warp problem, a Zeos problem, or a problem with the user (me!).
