ACPI Woes



Hi,

I just installed a 2.6-series kernel on my Lifebook and have some pain
with it. The most important function I need is suspend-to-RAM, done
when I press the power button.

I googled around a bit to learn about ACPI, but that brought only dead
ends. Apparently I am supposed to use /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh to write
to the SysFS:
    echo -n "mem" >/sys/power/state

But I only get an error:
    echo: write error: operation not permitted


At least some of the documentation in the Net seems to be out of date,
so I'm at a loss where to look at for clues.


Thanks for all hints you could give.


Thorsten
