Does a short press on the power button result in a clean shutdown? when the machine is up it cleanly shuts down with a short press on the power button. when i try to suspend it does nothing. i'm not sure since i haven't been able to reproduce, but one time i think i managed to get it resume by pressing some keys on the keyboard. but was just once while was doing a lot of tests, so maybe it didn't even suspended completely. > 2.

Or opening the lid? pressing the power button usually. since it doesn't suspend correctly, i don't really close the lid. > > I'm not completely sure, but the rate at which the power button blinks > > after zzz seems faster than when I tried on linux. > > 3.

I tried with an ubuntu live on a usb stick and it's just like i remember: upon suspend it goes from solid to slow blink (with a pattern of roughly 4 seconds of light and four of none) on openbsd instead it turns off, then after some seconds it blinks fast a few times, then solid) Thanks, and sorry again for the delay in replying.
