my laptop instantly resumes from a user or system standby command. I have apmd-3.0final-6mdk and pcmcia-cs-3.1.14 under Mandrake 7.1. I've tried fooling with the kernel options uder apm, but nothing seems to stop this. I am wondering if something is misconfigured and the system stays active immediately after the apm --standby command, hence waking it up within 00:00:03 seconds. I'm using a Gateway2000 9100. Also, the suspend comand kills my x-windows, and has been under every distribution I've used (RH5.2, 6.0, 6.1 and Mdk 7.1)--when it wakes up from the suspend, the x-windows are all screwed up, but the mouse and keyboard still work. the only way to suspend succesfully is to quit X and do the command from runlevel 3. I care much more about the standby problem than the suspend problem.
