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.
