[ltp] Question on APM vs ACPI

[Bob Alexander]

Well,
my TP40 (2373-92G 1.6Ghz Pentium M, atheros, intel E1000) seems to work 
quite well under it-s 2.6.9 kernel compiled under Debian with a few patches.

Fn+F3 blanks well and resumes
Fn+F4 suspends to ram, ( screen blanks, fan stops, moon turns on) has a 
minor flaw:
upon restarting the TP emits a couple of beeps and the external mouse 
connected to the port replicator retunrs lit but is unresponsive) here 
is what I see in the syslog:

Dec  8 21:13:01 localhost kernel: agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant 
device at 0000:00:00.0.
Dec  8 21:13:01 localhost kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 
0000:00:00.0 into 1x mode

correctable incident occurred on CPU 0.
Dec  8 21:13:08 localhost kernel: Bank 1: f200000000000055

Any ideas _

Fn+F12 does absolutely NOTHING.

Anyone believes that trying ACPI could be better ?

Thank you,
Bob
