I have a related question that came about as the result of a brief exploration into SuSE 8.2 on my notebook. Suse 8.2 only has ACPI support and nothing for APM. Prior to this I had a reasonably working APM configuration on my Debian installation. Reasonably, but not perfect, my PCMCIA NIC was a problem because it refused to suspend. However, what I have since discovered is that my notebook, while claiming support for ACPI, doesn't actually "do" anything when I press various buttons which used to work under APM for suspend, sleep, hibernate (I know this won't work right now because I removed my FAT partition). I'm trying to figure out what I need to do in order to have ACPI power management support on this notebook (hopefully it will allow more functionality than APM). It seems that the buttons were only recognized under APM. Is this a BIOS setting? Is there anything I can do to get these working on the newer power management schemes? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
