Initially quoting me, nate@mt.sri.com said: >>2) The "Suspend Button" no longer puts it to sleep. Other parts of >>the power management package still work. The screen blanks after a >>period of no use. The hard disk spins up and down as appropriate. >>Before I installed XFree86 suspend worked, but no more. > >Are you plugged in? If so, it won't let the computer go into >low-power mode. and msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au said: >The BIOS almost certainly takes one look at the video controller and >swears off being able to restore it, and thus gives up on suspending. >If you switch back to the text console (alt-ctrl-F1), you should be >able to suspend OK. I thought I confirmed Nate's suggestion before writing the original message (not to have done so would have been a major brain lapse). I checked it again before writing this, and the suspend feature is in fact well and truely dead, in X and out of X (after a Ctrl-Alt-F1), with line power (as it should be) and without (as it shouldn't). -- David E.
