Where did you read this? I'd like to know because everything *I* have

never been able to make it work on my laptop; I can get it to suspend to
RAM by doing "echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep", but there appears to be no way
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/sleep.html
From what I understand, suspend to RAM should work but suspend to disk
needs some extra kernel patches. /proc/acpi/sleep seems to be the old
2.4 kernel interface, whereas /sys/power/state is the 2.6 kernel
interface. Whilest suspending using ACPI seems to just power my machine
off completely, if I disable ACPI and use APM instead it sends the machine
to sleep but won't wake up again.
in Linux is not very robust as yet. Whether or not it will work will
likely depend on exactly what kernel version you are running and what
motherboard and BIOS chip. But it is highly unlikely that it will be as
simple as echoing something to a /proc or /sys file. If you do manage to
make it work, I'd love to hear about it.
I'm running Fedora Core 3 on that box (can't remember the exact kernel
version and I don't have access to the machine ATM). I have made machines
go to sleep by echoing into the /proc/acpi/sleep file before and the docs
say it _should_ work...
