The ACPI implementation in Linux 2.4 is really not very useful. I'm not sure that you can actually put your laptop to sleep with it. The problem is that, unlike APM, ACPI relies on the OS itself to go to sleep, and I don't think any of the 2.4 drivers can actually do it. ACPI is being completely re-written in 2.5. There has been talk of backporting the new ACPI drivers to 2.4, but the 2.4 maintainer doesn't like the idea since it's so big a change. > > How Do I suspend my laptop to RAM from within Linux? > I think you'll probably have to use APM. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
