To follow up my own post, I played around with the system again last
night and I think I have a better idea of what's going on.
My system does not run the suspend/resume scripts when I press the Fn-F4
key combination on my 560. However, if I first type "cardctl eject" and
then press Fn-F4, it does execute the suspend script and then the resume
script on resume.
Also, if I type "apm --suspend" at the command line, the scripts are
executed properly. So it seems like the suspend key combination is not
being trapped correctly.
Is it possible to do this on the Thinkpaf 560? Do I need to compile somethin
something else into the kernel in order to get this to work correctly?
Thanks,
