I have edited my /etc/acpi/events/power file so that whenever I press my
power button it will initiate a system suspend; however, this causes the
following problems:
1. The function only activates once; if I recover the system and then press
the button again later, nothing will happen. This appears to have something
to do with the software suspend because if I manually call a software
suspend and later call the function with a button press, nothing will happen
(the system will not suspend).
2. Activating the software suspend with the button press seems to screw up
other system services. If I manually enter into suspend with "pmsuspend",
then the system does a complete recovery after its inactivity (well, the
sound never comes back, but that isn't much of a concern at the moment);
however, if the power button calls the function "pmsuspend", then the system
services appear to get confused.
So basically I believe that the bug is either in the acpi button sourcecode,
the software suspend code, or perhaps both areas.
