this may be a different problem. You can always suspend via the kpowersave context menu or the powersave command line tool.
It works now. I'll post the reply under subject the "ACPI powersaved suspend bei IBM T21/T22" because I think it is more appropriate for this discussion now. -Teemu
would work with powersaved now, haven't tried it. If you want to test suspending with ACPI like I did, log in as root, unload the sound module, eject PCMCIA cards and finally send "4" to /proc/acpi/sleep. To resume I have to press the power button, the blue Fn-key or opening the lid do not work.
Yes, that's normal since after a S4 => suspend to disk the machine is powered off the same as after a shutdown. At least with the 9.1 kernel.
You might want to try newer powersave packages from ftp.suse.com:/pub/people/seife/powersave/, please read the READMEs since you might also need a newer kernel for the 0.8 versions. But even the 0.7 version available from there has some suspend-to-RAM bugs fixed IIRC.
sudo to allow normal users to suspend. The nice side effect is that you can also allow normal users to eject PCMCIA-cards with sudo. I wonder if this is possible with some dedicated PCMCIA-tool?
Nothing i know of right now. That's one of my most wanted applications: a "safely remove hardware" applet for the KDE systray.
I'd suggest you use powersaved, we can support you much better if you do ;-) --
I'd love to use it if only I knew how to make it work. Will you help us to accomplish this?
I'll try :-) -- Stefan Seyfried
