Any > recommendations? Generally the platform drivers implement support for non-standard features that are not included in the generic ACPI support. Often the non-standard support is implemented with vendor-specific extensions to ACPI. Unfortunately, except in a few cases, hotkeys are non-standard. So extending the platform driver for boxes similar to your own to talk to your box may be the way to go.. The LED indicator on sleeping, however, is generally standard (there is a method called "_SST" that we invoke that tells the BIOS to start & stop blinking the suspend LED) Do you know if the LED blinked when Windows suspended on this laptop? cheers, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
