No. That's what acpid is for. It can trigger ACPI events when certain things happen, as apmd (allegedly...) can for APM. This presupposes you can get suspending to work at all, of course. :) > Maybe I should go back to apm, then at least I can use apmiser to throttle > the CPU (which I am not sure acpi does at present). It ought to be possible. Investigate /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling . I get the feeling if someone would just write some damn *documentation* for the current ACPI implementation we'd find out all sorts of cool things it does. As it stands, anyone who isn't a developer is fumbling around in the dark... -- adamw
