I have an old Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop which uses APM and worked perfectly under SUSE-8.2 and earlier. I've just installed 9.2 on it and the powermanagement is completely wrecked. I started with the default power management stuff which is installed automatically. At first I thought it was all working correctly, but then (after just a couple of suspends) I started to get disk corruptions. It quickly got to the point where fsck couldn't help and a reinstall was the only option. On reinstall I switched off ACPI and on APM, just like I used to with earlier versions of SUSE. I now notice: * the magic key to suspend (Fn-A on my machine) is ignored; * closing the lid shuts off the screen, but everything else still runs; * the "apm -S" command (to go into standby) is ignored; * the "apm -s" command (to go into suspend) works, but the machine crashes hard when it comes back up. Which is all completely useless! The list archives indicate that several people are seeing this sort of behaviour, but I couldn't see any useful answers. Has anyone made any progress in, er, getting things back as they were?
