IBM thinkpad A31p How to enable Suspend on lid close for FC4?

Boomba · 11-07-2005, 08:27 PM

I have been trying to figure out why my computer doesnt go to standby/suspend mode when I close my lid in Fedora Core 4. It used to work in redhat 9. Why is this feature no longer working? I have no other major problems with Fedora Core but it would be nice to be able to have it so that my compputer suspends when I close the lid.

any suggestions?

thanx in advance,
Boomba

if your a31 is anything like my r40, you need to explicitly disable acpi and enable apm in the kernel boot options, e.g., for lilo:

append="acpi=off apm=on"

make sure apmd is running and it should work.
