Wake up from suspend using keyboard

Hi!

I've installed Arch 64 on my LG Tarsia. So far everything works, I've just noted an interesting difference compared to XP.

If I suspend in XP, I can wake the computer using any key. Suspending from Linux I can only wake the computer using the power button? Subjectively, suspending on Linux also takes longer.

Did I miss something? I'm using pm-utils, suspend is triggered with pm-suspend.

Cheers,
Michael

Re: Wake up from suspend using keyboard

I found a reference describing the sleep states and their possibilities:

http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/sleep.html

Interestingly, the /proc/acpi/sleep interface provides more options (S0,S3,S4,S5) than /sys/power/state (mem, disk).

Cheers!
