2.6.6 + AcerTravelMate634 suspend

[Emma Jane Hogbin <emmajane-MHIYrZpDPrNWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi everyone,

I just thought I'd let everyone know how my system behaves with the
various suspend options:
	echo -n "standby" > /sys/power/state  
		back light stays on in X
		does nothing from the console
		
	echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state  
		system "goes away", no back light, "Zz" light goes on
		Fn-F4 should work to put the computer into this state but it just
		beeps and does nothing
		can't restore (tried the power button, Fn-F4, moving the mouse, etc)
		have to force power off with the power button and then force restart

(more at the bottom)
NB: I have to stop mysqld by hand. (Yes, I run a database on my laptop for
testing purposes--I'm a web developer by day.)

	echo -n "disk" > /sys/power/state 
	system shuts off. No "Zz" light. When I use the power button to turn
	the system back on it says that it was not shut down properly.


REMINDER: when I try to use poweroff and halt the computer does not power
off when acpi_power_off is called at the very end.
