SuSE 9.1 & 9.2 come with special Thinkpad BIOS programs. One is called 'tpctl'. A graphical version is 'configure-thinkpad'. There is also a special kernel module 'km_tpctl'.
km_tpctl only appears to be in source, but I have no idea what it is supposed to do! tpctl tells me all sorts of useful things, but I haven't got it to do anything clever like suspend yet. COnfigure-thinkpad tells me that on "lid close" the machine will go into suspend, however closing the lid does no such thing, and clicking on the suspend icon on the toolbar gives a "non entry" error saying "system is invalid!" Its almost as if there is no apm on the machine, which there is 'cos it worked with 9.0. I wonder if the change from the apmd to the powersaved is the culprit? I put apmd back on but no change. I tried taking powersaved off but the were dependency issues so I didn't. The conclusion I am rapidly coming to is that the apm part of powersaved is not working properly :( -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
