it's nice huh? I don't know why everyone doesn't try it - people think suspending / hibernating is only for laptops!
I was thinking of it for quite a while but only recently was remembered as my new laptop works great with it.
In fact my workstation suspends/resumes even faster, even though (or because?) it has 4 GB RAM instead of the 3 in my thinkpad.
If you run gnome-power-manger (configure through gnome-power-preferences) you might find General > "When the suspend button is pressed" does something for that key. Otherwise, go to system preferences > keyboard shortcuts. From there you may be able to map the button to the "suspend" action. This all requires gnome. Don't know the kde way. Otherwise you can use X tools as well (xmodmap, setxkbmap or whatever the tools are, can't remember!)
I use GNOME, and yes, I already mapped that button to suspend the box to RAM. But how to make it *resume the box as well?
Maybe look through the bios to somehow "wake on keyboard" ? Will search ... Thanks, Stefan
