That is funny, because even when suspended (To RAM) the screen is making a very slight funky noise like electric noise, and if I tilt the screen upward, I can see some text on the screen, so it isnt 100% shut off. So it uses energy more than it should even when suspended. Anyways, I can make it wake up by passing a boot argument to the kernel (/boot/grub/menu.1st) This is how the entry looks like title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.11 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11 root=/dev/hda2 ro acpi_sleep=s3_bios initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.11 savedefault boot After doing this, the laptop wakes up about 90% of the time, and the remaining 10% is when PCMCIA cannot be cleanly removed, so it hangs. (can be recovered though). Overall I am very very happy with ACPI and would like to thank to the developers for the great work. My only question is that is there a way to shut the screen completely off, so even when I am on battery and suspended, it would last for a long time? And, the least important is that is there a way to resume the screen without the kernel boot argument?
