suspend/resume on IBM ThinkPad 600 running Lenny using APM (not ACPI)
I have an IBM ThinkPad 600 laptop which runs Debian Lenny. For a number of
reasons, including getting the internal Mwave ACP modem to work, I have
to disable ACPI. So I use the kernel boot parameter acpi=off and I load
the apm module via listing it in /etc/modules. A file in /etc/modprobe.d
sets the options for the APM module. Currently, all I have set is
power_off=1
I run a stock Lenny kernel. Up to this point, I have not even attempted
to implement suspend/resume. But since this is a laptop, I suppose it's about
time to address this subject. When I installed, I selected "Standard System"
and "Desktop System" in the tasksel menu, but I did not select any of the
laptop stuff. In my experience, most of the laptop stuff relies on ACPI
and I knew I would have to run with ACPI disabled. I run the standard
Lenny GNOME desktop environment.
There have been a number of threads recently
about suspend/resume; so I know there are some pretty knowledgeable users
out there. So I thought that I would ask for a general consensus of which
direction I ought to go. It will probably save me some time barking up the
wrong tree. Just keep in mind that it is part of the problem definition
that I *must* run APM and I *cannot* run ACPI. What should I do? Where
should I look? Any suggestions?
P.S. If you want details about my setup, it is documented in mind-numbing
detail at http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/tp600.htm.
