I guessed so.

I haven't investigated recent X things before this, so I just presumed that LVDS is my "Visual", how shall I say, well, my monitor. And of course I haven't closed the lid. BTW closing of the lid perfectly switched my laptop to suspend mode before this mess now--without me having configured anything (apart from having installed pm-utils).

Works well, opens a new Xserver (Xorg) on the chosen VT with an uxterm, then typing `enlightenment_start' leads to something coming up which looks like e... and after about 2 seconds the monitor is switched off, the hardware I'd say, as all VTs are included. And again, waiting on a (console) VT for about 20" it switches back on. I'm baffled. O BTW just for info it is a HP Elitebook 8460P, so not quite something exotic. Was Windows7 and I installed Debian from USB.
As the last thing being called after my `enlightenment_start' seems to be gvfsd, I'll try to update gvfs-daemons to see if that might make any difference. Will let you know.
Brgds, e.
