Debian and ACPI: success stories on the desktop?




Is there anyone on the list who has had success using ACPI and suspend to RAM on a home desktop machine? If so, are the results consistent and reliable? I would like to have my debian box instantly available for searching the web, but would feel guilty to leave an
electron guzzling p4 3ghz machine on
constantly, and feel that it isn't enviromentallt firendly either.

I have used Google, searched through the ACPI mail list archives over at
sourceforge and can't find anyhting relevant to ACPI, S3 (suspend to RAM)
and home desktop machines under Debian or Linux in general.

I'm currently run unstable on an Intel D875PBZ with kernel 2.6.2.
I have comipled in all the necessary ACPI options and receive no error messages during the boot process; but typing echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep (as per the ACPI how to) does nothing.

cat /proc/acpi/sleep  shows:
S0 S1 S3 S4 S5

So S3 shoudl be supported.



Any pointers would be appreciated.


Nick
