Vista Beta 2 - Power options

Dl'd Vista Beta 2 yesterday and installed the Home Basic. No Aero.
Reinstalled with Ultimate key and things are going pretty well. Getting
errors from Windows Mail; bombs out when dl'ing NG's... does some and then
errors out. Can't get my mail account to work either. Same settings as my XP
box, so...

I've got an Audigy 2 sound card. In 5308, I used the modded drivers and they
installed fine every time. With the new drop, the modded drivers were
locking up during install, but I finally got it to install by uninstalling
the soundcard (multimedia device) in DM, rebooting, and pointing it to the
audio drivers folder when asked where the drivers were.

Have one problem that's annoying... the Vista box is hooked up to a KVM.
With the 5308 build, I could put the seat to sleep and mash my kybd to
switch to the other computer, no problem. Now when I put it to sleep, when I
hit the kybd or mouse, it wakes up the Vista seat instead of KVM'ing to the
other box. I checked the power settings, found and disabled hybrid sleep and
one other setting that seemed like it might be related (seat is shut down
now so I could get to the other box...), but still getting the same result;
looks like Vista is grabbing the kybd and mouse when it's asleep.

Thanks,

Lang

Actually, I was wrong... it does KVM to the other seat but it ALSO wakes up
the Vista box...
