Why do you supose none of these are working quite right for me?

"echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep" and "echo mem > /sys/power/state" both show 
in the /var/log/messages

And 4 and disk don't do anything.. How can I enable this method, or any 
idea why they don't do anything?  Catting either file shows

$cat /sys/power/state
standby mem disk

$cat /proc/acpi/sleep
S0 S3 S4 S4bios S5


Thanks
