Do you know what process (or the BIOS?) is responsible for administer
the suspend timeouts, ie. receiving mouse and keyboard events and
resetting the timer for suspend at each one of these? If it's the BIOS
- does KDE really re-program the BIOS settings when I set up a new
time out under Power Control....? No offence, but I find that somewhat
hard to believe...!
- The log says "user suspend" if i don't touch the touchpad and the
keyboard for the time-out set up. Assume that wouldn'd be "_user_" if
it was anything between the kernel and the BIOS.
- Under any other VT except 7 (X that is), the box doesn't wake up
when I touch the touch pad.
- If it's apmd, I would assume that the time-outs can be configured
somewhere... AFAICS there's no config file for that...? The only place
I found to configure this was under KDE.
hm?
