I have a related question that came about as the result of a brief
exploration into SuSE 8.2 on my notebook.
Suse 8.2 only has ACPI support and nothing for APM.
Prior to this I had a reasonably working APM configuration on my Debian
installation. Reasonably, but not perfect, my PCMCIA NIC was a problem
because it refused to suspend.
However, what I have since discovered is that my notebook, while claiming
support for ACPI, doesn't actually "do" anything when I press various
buttons which used to work under APM for suspend, sleep, hibernate (I know
this won't work right now because I removed my FAT partition).
I'm trying to figure out what I need to do in order to have ACPI power
management support on this notebook (hopefully it will allow more
functionality than APM).
It seems that the buttons were only recognized under APM. Is this a BIOS
setting? Is there anything I can do to get these working on the newer
power management schemes?
