Hi. I have an IBM thinkpad and I installed Debian on it and got a
daemon called sleepd -- however it wants a command to actually put the
machine to sleep. Its default was apm -s which of course never worked
because the machine is an acpi machine.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Maybe you want to have a look at this:

Anyone with experience of using this vs. the 2.6 native option?
i just use the native 2.6 swsusp and acpi with my r40.
for the command, i just coded a little script that ultimately calls:
echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep
and i've added bits along the way, like resetting the clock, disabling
laptop mode, etc.
here's most my script:
#!/bin/sh
chvt 12 # since i like to watch
/etc/init.d/laptop-mode stop
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop
echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh start
/etc/init.d/laptop-mode start
