Bug#336638: linux-image-2.6.14-1-686: acpi broken in Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook S-Series laptop

[January Weiner <january.weiner@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.14-1-686
Version: linux-image-2.6.14
Severity: normal


I was installing Debian testing today on a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook
S-Series laptop without apm support in the BIOS.

ACPI can be loaded and correctly displays AC/battery information.

However:

0) echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep
  nothing happens (kernel says it's going to suspend and then immediatly
  that it's waking up) -- well, this is kinda expected

1) echo 2 > /proc/acpi/sleep
  nothing happens (kernel says it's going to suspend and then immediatly
  that it's waking up)

2) echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep
  kernel suspends, but when coming back the screen remains blank.   System
  is up, you can ssh into it, keyboard works (if you were on a root
  console, you can blindly type "reboot" and it will reboot), but the
  screen is dead.

3) echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep
  same as (1), nothing happens.

Hope this will save someone the trouble I had today before I figured out
what happens (I was a happy user of apm before and never had problem with
that system).

Cheers, 
January (stuck)
