Suspend/hibernation/sleep of laptop on FC4?
Hi all,
The last item to tackle on my new laptop is to figure out how to get it
to go into some sort of standby mode when I either close the lid,
briefly press the power button or right click on the battery icon and
select suspend. I have googled around but haven't really found the one
stop shop how to do it. I've read that "suspend to disk" is only
supported with the patches from http://swsusp2.net/ but Dave Jones'
stance ("My comments on swsusp are largely unprintable" don't really
inspire confidence. See
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-October/msg01375.html)
So I have a few questions:
1) what is supported by the latest FC4 update kernel (2.6.13-1526)?
2) how can I make the parts that are supported (and safe) work on FC4?
3) according to one report the kernel parameter "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" can
result in filesystem corruption on 2.6.12. Does that apply to the FC4
kernels too? See:

If possible I would like the power button to act as follows:
- press it briefly and go into some sort of standby
- press it longer and shut down the laptop
On the laptop I also have a key combination (Fn-F4) that supposedly
generates an ACPI sleep message. Would be nice if I could use that one
too.
Many thanks for any pointers.
Regards,
Patrick
