hi all,

i've just enabled and compiled acpi into the kernel and every seems to be functioning properly. The problem i have is that the crtl-F4 (suspend) and ctrl-F12 (hibernation) key combinations no longer work. why is this and does anyone know how i can get these key combinations to work again? thanks.

You've got to emerge acpid, start it and modify /etc/acpi/default.sh to react on these events the way you like it. It will probably not work very well as the ACPI sleep states don't seem to be too reliable yet. In detail USB and XFree often cause kernel panics respectively screw up the video.

I have a thinkpad and after emerging acpid fn-F4 works fine. Sleep seems to work with the dri xserver though there are some usb problems. With the later 2.6 kernels a bug which meant that acpi wouldn't register multiple events has been solved. Suposidly there was a fix for the usb thinkpad problems in a recent kernel but i haven't checked this thoughly yet.

Unfortunatly fn-F12 and fn-F3 don't register any events. . Anybody found a way to solve this?

in my /etc/acpi/default i have a line:

Same here with my T23 - F4 is registered fine, but F3 and F12 unfortunately show now events

What about lid close? Can I handle the reopening of my lid (to wake up)?
