    When I open the lid on my sleeping 17, the keys light up, but it sits at a lit black screen for a solid couple of minutes before the login screen appears and Tobii fires up to log me in. Does anyone else have this problem? It seems like it would be a Windows issue, but I'm not 100% sure. I have FCU installed as well as the latest BIOS, but this has been going on since I got the laptop (just now getting around to posting about it).

    Thinking about it, I will try turning off Tobii all the way tonight to see if this at least isolates the problem, but thought I would bounce it off you guys for any other thoughts. Thanks in advance!
