As part of an energy (environment) saving drive, I have migrated to Ubuntu dapper from sarge on my main machine mainly because there is better support for suspend and hibernate. Sadly, the (newer) unbranded keyboards which feature power keys are of poor quality; I can't get on with them. Many newer keyboards also still lack power buttons.
Given that BIOSes often allow an alias to the wake-up button (ctrl+Fx), there is no need for the power buttons so long as the OS can respond to some other key combination to put the machine in a user-configurable power saving state. In gnome power management->general, the sleep button can be configured to suspend the machine. I need to be able to set some other key combination as an alias for the sleep button. Perhaps configure ctrl+Fx to put the machine into suspend mode. -- sleep shortcut belongs to gnome-power-manager https://launchpad.net/bugs/32126 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
