Yes!  After going to bed last night, I remembered reading about the
various wake-up capable devices being enabled or disabled.

Hmmm, there are several other wake-up devices writing to GPE bit 0x1D,
e.g.:

Device (LID)
{
   Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0C0D"))
   Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
   {
      0x1D, 
      0x03
   })
...

but the corresponding method in the _GPE namespace, _L1D(), Notify()s
the OS about wakeup (event 0x02) and sends only the button object along.

If I do acpe_enable_gpe(0x1D, NULL, ACPI_EVENT_WAKE_ENABLE), will it
mean that all these other devices will also be able to wake the laptop
up from S3?  My DSDT is at http://cpbotha.net/thingies/dsdt.asl.original

Great.  I will try this tonight, thank you very much.  What would be the
Right Way(tm) of fixing this?

Thanks again,
