Hi - just a heads up:
I upgraded to woody recently, and discovered a quirk in the apmd_proxy
script: It short circuits and ignores system suspend events when
on_ac_power returns true: This has the unfortunate effect of not
shutting down the alsa-sound stuff and misc other things, which
unfortunately means that when the laptop resumes [after a fn-F4], all the
stuff which should have been brought back to life safely is borked, and
needs to be restarted.
I've fixed it [for myself] by removing the short-circuit for
system-suspend when on ac, but perhaps the script should dispatch events
to 2 directories - one for things you want to do when on battery, and one
for things that should happen when on ac power....
Apart from that, everything seems to have worked fine: [well, I haven't
checked pcmcia - I'll have to borrow a card off someone and test it - and
maybe irda works reliably now... have to test that too]

What are we gonna do tomorrow night, Tremere?
The same thing we do every night, Goratrix: Try to Take Over The World!
