It used to be

/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs rw,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=iso8859-1 0 0

                          ^^                                ^^^^^^^^^

over here (before ReiserFS replacement). Just to add to a pool pf
possibilities, in case the first option coughs out an error or warning.

I managed to do this by going directly to YaST disk. No need to unmount any
drives either.

Under YaSY/Control Center, see the Power Management section. I don't believe
it has the notion of different display units (let alone cards) and handling
them separately, so I suggest you try hibernation, stand-by, HDD shutdown
and other energy saving schemes to see if luck comes your way.

Best wishes,

Roy
