RE: PowerManagement -- How to enter (and stay!) in a sleep state?
Do some research on your particular laptop as well. Different laptops
have different levels of success with ACPI vs. APM and different
features actually work with them. i.e. I had an old Toshiba which
absolutely would not work with one of those (I forget which) because of
a non-standard bios.
