can't get standby (S1) to work

["Nirmal Govind" <nirmalg-8DAjSxpRXgY@public.gmane.org>]

Hi.. I have acpi compiled into the kernel and also have swsusp. Now, when I try
echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep, nothing happens. I'm running Mandrake 9.2, 2.4.22-21
kernel that I compiled with (almost?) all the acpi options enabled. The laptop
is a Fujitsu Lifebook S6120D. Is there any way to get the laptop to standby? I
move around a lot with this computer and really would like to get the standby
working. The swsusp seems to work with the suspend to disk, i.e. when I do an
echo 1 > /proc/swsusp/activate .. however, after the computer suspended, I
couldn't bring it back up - when I hit the power button, it tried to resume,
did something, and then gave me a blank screen -- had to do a hard reboot after
that.

Thanks,
nirmal
