Hi,

sorry for mis-spelling the /etc/default/acpi-support, my fault. As for the option "mem", with this in ACPI_SLEEP_MODE my acer goes off and awakes like after normal power-up...

As I stated up this things I have tested on my acer ntb, the package called hibernate did not work for me - trouble with fglrx - if i killed X and removed fglrx it worked flawless, on the other side never tried it with the default radeon driver...

I also tried to use the suspend2 in kernel 2.6.17 with beyond patches (which I think are worth trying - http://iphitus.loudas.com/archck.php- dark side you need to compile a new kernel also you need the default 2.6.17, but then the speed is simply improved... :-) ), this also worked only when there was nothing in the USB ports and no fglrx loaded...

But something I found last days, I think for the fglrx driver that ati makes "fits" better in the default kernels in Edgy/Dapper as in self compiled kernels, becuase if you have the default kernel you might be able to suspend/hibernate, again it sometimes works 5-6 suspends and then blank screen and sometimes not.

Funny thing is that this same syndroms I had under Suse 10.1 (sometimes working sometimes not).

The removal of the ipw2200 is for me necessary without it the computer wont suspend, it "suspends" and in 1-2 secs it goes up....

P.S. On my wifes ntb which is a ECS A 535+ lowend with duron, I just chaged the mem to standby in ACPI_SLEEP_MODE and the system suspends but the processor cooler stays running all the time, but the computer suspends and awakes all the time with no errors...
