I have pbbuttonsd installed ... the config file - i.e. /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf
- is attached as "pbbuttonsd.conf-tibook" - so get the machine to
sleep all I do is pressing the powerbutton of the ti-book. As to the
"Sleepkey" ID 116 in this pbbuttons.conf: I don't know what's the
right one for your computer ....
Also, I attach xorg.conf that is on that tibook as "xorg.conf.tibook"
Now, you might even want to try that kernel I'm using: I've uploaded
it quite some time ago to rapidshare:
http://rapidshare.com/files/103023740/linux-image-2.6.25-rc3-g7704a8b-with-ben.s-pmu-patch_2008.03.06_powerpc.deb.html
md5sum for that kernel package on the rapidshare page is
37732ce4d345bd5b4ef7b74cdc475c16
My apologies for that upload solution, but I don't have another one:
It might be hard to type in the correct code (shown on that image that
rapidshare might display if one wants to download that file ... )
.. don't give up ... :)
The config file for that kernel is on
http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/config-tibook-2.6.25-rc3-g7704a8b-with-ben.s-pmu-patch.txt
And just in case: I've also attached /etc/modules from the tibook as
"modules-tibook" ..
Good luck!
Oh, I nearly forgot that:
This kernel above is heavily modularized ... no initrd image .. and
on install it might complain about a missing source directory, that I
have on the machine where I compiled the kernel ... I just ignored
that complaint for the install on the tibook, IIRC ...
The only problem I remember with this software, is the occasionally
missing trackpad mouse pointer, on X, IIRC ...
Also: I have a mildly fresh (lots from around March 26, IINM) unstable
Debian on that tibook, with this being installed (excerpt):
