Ok. That is fine. I thought APM was regarded as a crock and ACPI is the new wonder for all this kind of thing.
APM is so simple that it works most of the time, whereas ACPI is so complicated that it's nearly a wonder it does work here and there. I have yet to see a board where everything played along and suspend to ram worked.
Can anyone shed any light on any of this ?
IMO you should just forget ACPI for the time being, specially for Linux where APM support is *that* much better. Philipp -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
