Thanks! I am also using ACPI (APM suspend does not work, only blanks screen
and gives very strange double tone beep - and it works OK before loading OS,
ie. on GRUB screen - anyone else has experienced this?). With ACPI I have
however a problem - when I suspend the Ultrabay LED stays on, even when
machine is suspended. WinXP behaves in the same way (I think it also uses
ACPI) but you can use "stop device" tray icon, or IBM's Easy Eject utility
to stop the DVD of FDD before you pull it out of the bay. Is it possible to
do it in Linux (Fedora Core 2)? With tpctl I guess it's possible to read
information about the device mounted in the bay (tpctl -iU I think) but
that's all.
