Bug Description
For some time now (since dapper) I have not been able to get my thinkpad to suspend using the Fn+F4 key. Suspending from the context menu from gnome-power-manager applet works. I can also get the thinkpad to sleep from the System->Quit menu. The suspend mechnism seems to be fine, however, something is wrong with the suspend key.
I have finally been able to investigate this. When the Fn+F4 key is pressed, the acpi daemon detects it and runs /etc/acpi/
I understand that gnome-power-manager is supposed to listen for these events produced by acpi_fakekey. I ran g-p-m with --no-daemon and --verbose. This is the output I see when I press Fn+F4:
[watch_
[hal_device_
[emit_button_
[hal_button_
[power_
[gpm_manager_
[suspend_
[manager_policy_do] gpm-manager.c:922 (14:58:14): policy: /apps/gnome-
[gpm_manager_
[gpm_syslog] gpm-debug.c:140 (14:58:14): Saving to syslog: Doing nothing because the suspend button has been pressed
[gpm_info_
This is odd (and ironic): "doing nothing because the suspend button has been pressed". Shouldn't g-p-m suspend the machine?
Richard: do you understand what's going on here?
