Suspend & ACPI

Suspend & ACPI

work perfect with 05-04, except loudspeaker buttons

(volume - /+). 

procedure as followed:

1.  activate ACPI in KDE controlcenter using menu -      powercontrol/laptop battery-ACPI config

2.  upgrade your swap partition to min. 1.5 x MB of mainstorage RAM

3.  define resume-definitions [resume=/dev/hda(n)] in your "/grub/boot/menu.lst" bootline (...see enclosed example)

4.  execute following commands:

     su

     passwd

     get-resume-partition

5.  ...install kpowersave as root

     apt-get update
     apt-get install kpowersave

6.  reboot

    (...while rebooting, you get an error message related to                  powersave) 

    you need to execute  "/etc/init.d/powersaved start" 

    after execution kpowersave-menu is complete,  active and            editable

    this  description is a single step execution for powersaved. 

    for automated execution use "bum" boot-up-manager as        root (click -power management daemon(powersaved)- in bum     selection window).

    now - Suspend must be ready, use Fn+Esc to activate 

    try another reboot, if something failes

    example:

    bootlines from /grub/menu.list
