Suspend doesn't work proppely - 8.04, Darter Ultra (daru2)

[laserline]

Edit: Just checked again, under Intrepid S1 sleep works (i.e. "sudo -s, echo "standby" >/sys/power/state") works.

Well, This sounds promising.
Can anyone else confirm this ?

I'll try it now on Hardy and post my results.

If that works on Intrepid, I guess System76 could add it to the driver to change the default behavior of the suspend.

Idan.


EDIT1: I just did that from the terminal in Gnome on Hardy and the system did suspend, but the Screen was still lit and I could see the screen as it is.
Is there a way to cause this method to shutdown the monitor ?

EDIT2: I've changed the defaults in

/etc/default/acpi-support

to

ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=standby

And then hacked the /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script so it won't exit if gnome is running (commented out lines 15,16,17) and executed the sleep.sh script as root. The system went to sleep, including monitor shutting down. The CPU still works (as it's only to RAM) but the system did come back (!) - That's on Hardy.

Now what I need to figure out is how to tell Gnome's power management to use "standby" instead of "ram" and that will do the trick.

Anyone knows where Gnome holds that setting ?
