Suspend to wakeup on the X40

[auth]

Hi everyone!

This is my first post ever in this forum and I would like to say that this forum is great! I have never seen anything similar around any of my previous laptop brands.

I ave hust gootten my hands on a used x40 and setting it up with dubbelboot. Windows on a 10 GB FAT32 partition and Debian on the rest. I have goten alot of stuff up and running (WLAN, USB, BT, DRI and so on) but I cant get suspend/wakeup behave as I want to.

First thing worth mentioning is that I want to use ACPI instead of APM.
Im using the 2.6.8.1 kernel with the latest stable patch from http://acpi.sf.net applied.

If I force it to suspend with "echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep" it will go into suspend mode as it should and the moon-lamp lights up. Here coes my problem:
It wont wake up.
I have tried every button on this lovely machine but it just wont come back from suspend mode. Im forced to hold the powerbutton for a few seconds until the system halts and then boot up from scratch.

Is there someone out there who have this working or is it something obvious Im missing here?
Every thought is appreciated!

Best regards
Thomas

Hi again!

I will complete my post with a question.

Has anyone gotten there x40 to wake up from suspend?
And if so, how did you do it?

Best regards

Hi,

You have to add a kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s3_bios
Using 2.6.9 kernel that works very nice for me.

I would also suggest you take a look on http://ibm-acpi.sf.net, if you want to use those funny Fn+ buttons

take a look to /etc/acpi/ibm-... scripts, after you install and load ibm-acpi module to get the idea how it works.
