I haven't had any to test with; I'd assume that the 440MX is using the
PIIX4M core.

Thanks; I'll add your device ID - feedback like this is very useful.

This isn't supported at the moment; there will probably be keymap entries
to do this once the suspend kinks are worked out.

Under ACPI, the OS initiates sleep, not the BIOS, so the keyboard
shortcuts aren't going to do anything.
