[ltp] APMD and Standby on the TP-T21

[D. Sen]

Interesting.....this would be fine if all it was doing was blanking out the
screen....but I am pretty sure, its doing something to the hard drive. There
is a one-to-one correspondence with my pressing Fn+F3 and a line appearing on
syslog saying "hda: lost interrupt".

I got around hda error messages when suspending the machine by calling hdparm
through the apmd_proxy.

I dont particularly want to use standby (Fn+F3).......BUT when I close the
laptop lid, with a pcmcia card in it, it defaults to the standby mode (instead
of suspend which is what happens when there are no pcmcia cards in the slots).
So....I can't close the laptop lid.....without ejecting my network
cards....which gets to be a hassle.
