I'm glad you said that because I've spent 1/2 an hour looking at my hal
configuration wondering why it won't work.

I installed libhal, libhal-storage1, and hal, all versioned 0.5.11~rc2-2
from the above source.

The service has been restarted however still the same problem is
showing.  I'm presuming that hal is actually getting the keyboard events
because if I do:
lshal -m

and then do FN+F4 I get:
15:00:51.534: computer_logicaldev_input_3 condition ButtonPressed = sleep
15:00:51.534: computer condition ButtonPressed = sleep
15:00:51.572: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition
ButtonPressed = sleep

However I don't get any S3 action.  Same for FN + F12 for hibernating.

As far as I can ascertain, all the configuration that hal should need is
in place, even the XML file describing all the keys as an 'X4' entry (I
have an IBM Thinkpad X40).  I can only think that either the XML entry
is incorrect for my hardware (unlikely IMO) so something else has gone awry.
