You are missing suspend-to-ram (S3) functionality in the kernel or in your
ACPI system.

I'll check that when I get back home.

I'm pretty sure that I have all ACPI options compiled as modules in the kernel, though. What do you mean by 'your ACPI system'? Some sort of BIOS setting?

Thanks for the reply!

I didn't have ACPI on in my BIOS. After activating it, dmesg shows ACPI supporting S0, S1, S2, S4, S5 and S6, but not S3. Is this a hardware/BIOS limitation, or can it be overcome in software?

One more thing... When I am not using ACPI, everything seems to work fine. When I start using it, the keyboard and touchpad become less responsive.

Basically, it just ignores some typed keys and touchpad movements/clicks. It is really annoying to have to go through the keys one by one, in slow motion, and verifying if there was a response to each one of them.

Right now, I have ACPI off and have to suspend the PC via command line. With ACPI, I had the power button set up to do this.

Thanks for any insights!
