(or I was not looking at the right place) I see two different sleep-state capabilities on my laptop (run by a transmeta cursoe CPU) running 2.6.4 vanilla kernel and a debian unstable system. # cat /proc/acpi/sleep S0 S3 S4 S5 # cat /sys/power/state standby mem disk as I understand 'standby' is synonymous to 'S1', which is not showing up in the /proc version... when issuing echo -n standby > /sys/power/state the system acts as if it would go to standby (switch to console, some output saying so, etc.) but resumes immediately. what does that mean? does my laptop lack S1/standby capability? thanks for an explanation -- martin lorenz -- They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
