APM or ACPI

Hi all! I have notebook, but i cant setup its power managment, ie notebook dont sleep then i press power button, or close monitor. It is possible to setup without recompile the kernel? I think it will be slow on p3.
PS: Notebook model : Fujitsu-Siemens S-5582.

in lilo.conf or menu.lst, append "apm=off acpi=on" to your kernel boot params.

then run "pacman -S acpid" and add acpid to you DAEMONS=() array in rc.conf

that should do it...

you can later creat custom power scripts, but the defaults are fine with me

It didnt help . Then kernel start acpi post devices, modes, all looks ok. Then i run acpi_listen and press power button, this line appearing:

button/power PWRF 00000080 00000015

by "standby" you mean suspend-to-ram, correct? suspending to ram, and "hibernating" (suspend-to-disk) are odd beasts under linux...

for monitor blanking, you can always just use "xset"

So, suspend will not works?
PS: thnx for help.

well, suspend to disk is unstable and requires a kernel patch, as far as I know.... suspend to ram...

be careful with this, but you can try:

echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep

to see if it works...

if it works, we can go from there... it doesn't work all the time... and sometimes has problems (video and sound card can't resume, things like that)

echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep

It doesn't work: computer sleeps, but dont wake up.
Will wait for new kernel .
