sleep/suspend on Toshiba 2805-S302
I might have a few hours today for my laptop setup.
Is it possible to get sleep/suspend to work on this laptop? And is it even
worth it, battery wise?
apm -S
seems to work, but then within a second or two the laptop wakes up.
On the other hand,
apm -s
seems to put it in suspend (the power light slowly flashes orange), but the
system does not come back when I press the power button again. It attempts
to restart, so it seems, but after a few seconds the LCD fades white in the
center -- and that doesn't look too good.
Do I need a special disk partition for suspend? I've never seen one when
looking at the partition tables. WinME is still on the machine and it can
"Stand By" and restore still.
$ fgrep APM /boot/config-2.4.18-xfs-laptop
CONFIG_APM=m
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set
