When I close the lid or press Fn+F4 (that is the sleep shortcut on thinkpads), this script is executed: #!/bin/sh # if launched through a lid event and lid is open, do nothing echo "$1" | grep "button/lid" && grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state && exit 0 echo "7 blink" > /proc/acpi/ibm/led sync echo mem > /sys/power/state Obviously it's difficult to test whether the laptop went into sleep when I close the lid -.- Maybe there's something wrong with that script logic or the my kernel (.25-rc3). But thanks for the heads up that the laptop should last much longer. tom _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.lesswatts.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
