Hi Colin
Are you sure that you are not using ACPI to Supsend the _whole_ system to
RAM/HDD? In that case the system can't do anything anymore because its
controlled by the BIOS. I can do this here. Then the whole system is shut
down and nothing internally can rewake it. I have to do it on the
Keyboard/Power Button.
Many Laptops chips have their own independent Power saving systems (ACPI
based) wich do power saving on their own, without asking the OS first (that
was a solving for the NT4 leak in APM/ACPI support)
