I have a toshiba laptop too. with suse 8.0 it worked perfectly, with 8.1 no apm support. Reading the dmesg output, I got: APM disabled by ACPI... Hmm, so ACPI dares to interfere with my APM? Turn it off! I set ACPI=off, and now my toshiba laptop is APM enabled again. Simple, just try it at the next reboot;)
Acpi stands for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface". It is the new version of apm, and more. You can not have both, you have to choose. With acpi you should be able (if they finished the acpi support, which I don't know) to send the computer to sleep pressing a button. Read the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/pm.txt for more info. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
