You need the acpid daemon running. That watches for ACPI events and invokes those scripts in /etc/acpi/, depending upon how you configure it. In reality, you may have to modify them quite a bit to get the results you're after, because ACPI/Linux/laptops is still a mess. You should get a log of events at /var/log/acpid, anyway. With my Dell 5100, the only suspend mode that works at all is "S4", I believe, which just suspends the CPU. So I haven't worked with it enough to provide any samples. If I were smart enough, though, I'd try to kill the display backlight and then do an "S4" whenever my lid closes. (Anyone done this with ACPI?) What would be REALLY useful to me is suspend-to-disk, so I don't have to keep rebooting this thing. . . . --Jason V.
