There is; active button-hibernate button-power button-sleep button-suspend critical-battery-action idle-brightness idle-dim-ac idle-dim-battery idle-dim-time lid-close-ac-action lid-close-battery-action notify-perhaps-recall percentage-action percentage-critical percentage-low priority sleep-display-ac sleep-display-battery sleep-inactive-ac sleep-inactive-ac-timeout sleep-inactive-ac-type sleep-inactive-battery sleep-inactive-battery-timeout sleep-inactive-battery-type time-action time-critical time-low use-time-for-policy There are options to set the keys for hibernate? I use a logitech multimedia keyboard on my desktop and I can define the keys. This keyboard also has a hibernate button which works fine, just like my netbook. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop up 0:32, 4 users, load average: 0.02, 0.22, 0.22 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 285.05.09 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
