Laptop actions...


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I installed Mandrake Linux (9.2, kernel 2.4.22-10mdk) on my laptop. I've been exploring it during a couple of years on a desktop pc, but this is the first time on a laptop.

I enabled ACPI support, and everything seems quite fine (laptop behaviour is normal).

When I'm running WinXP, and I'm closing the laptop, it suspends and I can walk away with it. When I close my laptop using MDK, it just goes on, doesn't suspend.

How and where can I enable these actions?

Thx,

Slike

I have SuSE 9.0 on a dell inspiron 1100, and i was looking for a way to get back the similar power managemnt utilities i had in xp. I tryed the default app that came with SuSe but it wont work. any other apps ?

Well, it should work. type "apm -s" in a terminal. Does that work? If THAT doesn't work, then you're kernel is probably not compiled with APM.

edit: You to PROBABLY have something funky with your ACPI stuff.... you can use this as an example so you can see where you're going with your own... http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=8...ghlight=standby

also edit: you probably have good reference HERE: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/
