This is just a request (desire). As S1 is not completely working (backlight, disks spinning...), I wonder = if=20 one couldn't find a temporary solution similar to S4bios for machines tha= t=20 have S1 in bios. I apologise if what I'm saying is stupid as I'm not a developper, just a=20 ordinary Linux user who has been following the development of ACPI and sw= susp=20 in order to have it's Laptop with the usual functionality of laptops.. In my first times with Linux in this machine (COMPAQ Presario 12XL515) I=20 used APM with kernel 2.2.17 (Debian Potato's version) and I had "S1"=20 behaviour with apm -S. At the time it was the single working function as = the=20 battery status/information wasn't there, and "S4" seemed also to be absen= t (=20 I know now that it was there but it needed a proper configured partition)= =2E=20 However with more recent kernels, both 2.2 and 2.4 (not patched with Deb= ian=20 patches) I never had the APM sleeping function working again. Anyway I started using ACPI for battery information, and Swsusp for=20 hibernation purposes, but I still miss the ability of putting the system = in a=20 soft sleep so that I can move it from one place to another, or have a cup= of=20 coffee without having to wait still some time for a swsusp suspend/resume= =20 cycle. As S4Bios was created to use the ability of the machines who still have s= ome=20 APM support to overcome the current limitations and difficulties of swsus= p,=20 isn't it possible to do the same with S1?
