i have hoary running on an old thinkpad i1300 and i'm trying to get acpi to work on it. everytime i select "Suspend the computer" from the Log Out option under system my screen stays the same it doesn't blank out, but when i try to click on an application it just freezes and doesn't open up anything at all. and then i have to manually shut the computer down by turning the power off. here's what my /etc/default/acpi-support looks like:
Code:
# Uncomment the next line to enable ACPI suspend to RAM
ACPI_SLEEP=true
# Comment the next line to disable suspend to disk
#ACPI_HIBERNATE=true
# Change the following to "standby" to use ACPI S1 sleep, rather than S3.
# This will save less power, but may work on more machines
# was mem
ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=mem
# Add modules to this list to have them removed before suspend and reloaded
# on resume. It should look something like MODULES="e1000 ipw2100"
MODULES="wg511v2"
# Should we save and restore state using the VESA BIOS Extensions?
SAVE_VBE_STATE=true
# The file that we use to save the vbestate
VBESTATE=/var/lib/acpi-support/vbestate
# Should we attempt to warm-boot the video hardware on resume?
POST_VIDEO=true
# Should we switch the screen off with DPMS on suspend?
USE_DPMS=true
# Uncomment the next line to switch away from X and back again after resume.
# This is needed for some hardware, but should be unnecessary on most.
# DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true
# Set the following to "platform" if you want to use ACPI to shut down
# your machine on hibernation
HIBERNATE_MODE=shutdown
# Comment this out to disable screen locking on resume
#LOCK_SCREEN=true
# Uncomment this line to have DMA disabled before suspend and reenabled
# afterwards
# DISABLE_DMA=true
# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in
# the resume process.
STOP_SERVICES="mysql "
and here's what my menu.list file looks like in /etc/grub:
Code:
# menu.lst - See: grub(:cool:, info grub, update-grub(:cool:
# grub-install(:cool:, grub-floppy(:cool:,
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 3
## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
hiddenmenu
# Pretty colours
#color cyan/blue white/blue
## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
# password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/
# password topsecret

will switching to APM help, since its an old notebook (intel 650Mhz, 256 megs ram, cd-r,etc.) or is there a way to get ACPI to get working on this notebook. any advice is appreciated.
TIA
