kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5: no ACPI sleep

[Paul Johnson]

It works for me with the Nvidia card and the newest kernel and newest
Nvidia driver. Not all laptops are the same.  On a Dell D800, it is
necessary (for me, at least), to turn off builtin agp in the kernel
boot line with the option agpgart=off

and turn on the NVagp in xorg.conf

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "nVidia Corporation Unknown device 01d7"
        Option      "NvAGP" "1"
EndSection

If you want to make it work, you should post more details about your
system and drivers.

Also, with the newest (testing) version of gnome-power-manager and
associated hal, I'm only able to suspend if I su to root and run
pm-suspend in the terminal.  I wonder if you might not be seeing the
same effect.

$ /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
/etc/pm/functions: line 43: /.suspended: Permission denied
touch: cannot touch `/var/run/pm-suspend': Permission denied
/etc/pm/functions: line 100: pm-pmu: command not found
/etc/pm/functions: line 100: /sys/power/state: Permission denied
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted

That's a short term problem, however.
