Suspending my hp/Compaq laptop
Posted: Mon 08 Aug 2011, 03:53
I'm trying to make my hp/Compaq laptop suspend to RAM upon closing the lid. This is a nx6125 (1.6GHz AMD, 1.4 GB RAM, 40 GB HDD) running LuPu 5.20 in a full install.
After seeing this: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=59336 I tried out what I could manage.
I have installed acpitool and acpid and all(?) the associated libraries and dependencies. I can invoke suspend to RAM from the commandline, using
however closing the lid seems to just turn off the screen, without resuming upon reopening lid. I think all the other hardware is active (fan, HDD, etc.). I can get a quick flash of the screen by manually depressing the lid switch, but only a flash.
This is the same behavior before installing acpitool, etc., although there have been rare instances when the screen would resume after reopening the lid/releasing the switch. AFAIK, only the screen is turned off. everything else being left on.
I also cannot find suspend.sh to edit in 5.20, in /etc/acpi/actions or anywhere else for that matter, as suggested in the post. Is it not used in LuPu 5.20 while used in 5.10?
Any ideas?
