Debian usually installs apm scripts besides acpi scripts. However during boot apm is overrriden by acpi. Anyway, to make sure apm is disabled you could add "apm=off acpi=on" to your kernel line on lilo or grub configuration. The problem that I see here, is not the sleeping itself. It is that the laptop should recover from suspension. ACPI should work on this laptop. Actually, IBM laptops have a special project for its bios, and normally everything works (suspend/resume, power management, smart battery and stuff like that) http://ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net/ Maybe you need to install additional or modified modules in your kernel to get it working. If you have debian, there are some precompiled packages http://debian.isg.ee.ethz.ch/public/ And last but the least. Take a look at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki A lot of info about thinkpads and linux. > -- Juan M.
