Hi Scott, This is not a duplicate of Bug 407491. I tried the fixed version from a PPA mentioned there and this problem still persists. Moreover, I am using i386, and as I understood from the other bug, it affects only amd64.
I updated the bug description, because I found out that Fn-F1 now turns off the display instead of suspending on both AC and battery. When I initially installed karmic (between alpha3 and 4), the suspend button was definitely working as intended for a short time. I don't know what could have triggered this bug except maybe it happened after I started gnome-power-preferences for the first time after installation. ** Summary changed: - Pressing Suspend key while on AC turns off display - not configurable + Pressing Suspend key turns off display instead of suspending ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 407491 [karmic] gnome-power-preferences not storing settings ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Laptop: Dell Latitude D630. - When pressing the suspend key (Fn-F1) while on AC, only the display gets turned off. - While on battery, suspend occurs normally. + When pressing the suspend key (Fn-F1), only the display gets turned off, + instead of suspending the laptop. In the settings, I have the following: When the suspend button is pressed: Suspend.
