In case you missed it from the last post, you'll quite possibly need to patch your kernel for ACPI support since the ACPI code shipped in the kernel is very outdated. I don't use Red Hat, so its possible that their kernel includes an up-to-date ACPI - but I wouldn't bet on it. If you have any problems, download a vanilla 2.4 kernel from your local kernel.org mirror and the latest ACPI patches from sourceforge.net/projects/acpi, apply the ACPI patches, build and install the kernel, then give it another try. > Note: if you want S3 you must use 2.5 kernels ... however, you can get away with swsusp ( virtual S4 ) on a 2.4 kernel. I'm using it on my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, and it works a treat. Really nice in combination with win2k's hibernate feature if you have to use win2k too (eg to make the crapmodem in your laptop work). -- Craig Ringer GPG Key Fingerprint: AF1C ABFE 7E64 E9C8 FC27 C16E D3CE CDC0 0E93 380D -- if it ain't broke, add features 'till it is.
