how to suspend/wake-up a FreeBSD machine?
Hello! I managed to suspend some of my computers a few times (using either ``zzz'' or ``acpiconf -s 1''), but I could never successfully wake the system up after this, requiring a full reboot. What's the proper procedure? I tried the power-button (no effect) and hitting random keyboard keys (no effect). How is it supposed to work?

That depends largely on the hardware - on e.g. ThinkPads you need to press the 'Fn' button to wake up the laptop after sleep.

hmm i think it's not so much the Fn key, u need to do anything that triggers an
ACPI event in the BIOS - like opening the lid , or pressing Fn. I *think*
'thinkVantage' blue btn should work too.

I *think* 'thinkVantage' blue btn should work too. On my T23 I have suspend/wake on lid switch off (in BIOS), preferring to have to use the Fn key to wake. No other keys do that on mine including the ThinkPad key, so then called. While consulting 'sysctl hw.acpi' about that I see: hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE which I assume reflects my don't-do-that BIOS setting. And confirming: # sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=1 # (or =0) hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE sysctl: hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: Invalid argument which makes sense and was expected .. except that since doing that, closing the lid while awake still just blanks screen, but opening lid now wakes the laptop from sleep! No big deal, just slightly odd ..

hmm mine reads :

dev.acpi_lid.0.wake: 1

With that, no keys at all but only pressing the power button (not for too long!) will wake it up (phew). Anyway, after a reboot - having noticed that since my verbose boot the other day, each ACPI suspend/resume is VERY chatty in messages - it's still working the same.

So if you set this to S1 it will try to enter S1 when you close the lid, etc. For example: sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3 Would make it enter S3 when you closed the lid. -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Um, der .. I see that and other sysctls are in acpi(4) now, but weren't in my (oldish) 5.5-STABLE nor 6.1-RELEASE.

S3 works on mine, but S1 doesn't. Didn't try S5 :) but NONE is really what I want there anyway. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
