Suspend via Fn+F4 fails

[Crispin Flowerday]

Possibly a hal bug - I'm not sure....

If I press Fn+F4 on my IBM x31 to suspend the laptop, nothing happens. g-p-m --no-daemon --verbose prints out the following:

[watch_device_condition] gpm-hal-monitor.c:296 (11:18:39): udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input, name=ButtonPressed, details=sleep

Forgot to mention version numbers - g-p-m 2.13.91-0ubuntu1, hal 0.5.6-4ubuntu3

Crispin, what does lshal -m display when you press the button?

Start monitoring devicelist:

platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = sleep

Yep - that seems to do the trick for me, thanks

I already have an equivalent patch ready for the next g-p-m upload to dapper.

This should be fixed in 2.13.91-0ubuntu2
