Hi,

Sleep mode works when I manually do apm -z or
equivalently zzz. The problem is it is not
automatically invoked when the computer is idol for 20
mins. which I have set my bios for.  

dmesg gives:

apm0: <APM BIOS> on motherboard
apm: found APM BIOS v1.2, connected at v1.2

so the device is being detected.


/etc/rc.conf has got the line:

apmd_enable="YES"


/etc/apmd.conf has got:

apm_event SUSPENDREQ {
        exec "/etc/rc.suspend";
}

apm_event USERSUSPENDREQ {
        exec "sync && sync && sync";
        exec "sleep 1";
        exec "apm -z";
}

apm_event NORMRESUME, STANDBYRESUME {
        exec "/etc/rc.resume";
}


/etc/rc.suspend looks like:

if [ -r /var/run/rc.suspend.pid ]; then
        exit 1
fi

echo $$ > /var/run/rc.suspend.pid

# If you have troubles on suspending with PC-CARD
modem, try this.
# See also contrib/pccardq.c (Only for PAO users).
# pccardq | awk -F '~' '$5 == "filled" && $4 ~ /sio/ \
#       { printf("pccardc power %d 0", $1); }' | sh

logger -t apmd suspend at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`
sync && sync && sync
sleep 3

rm -f /var/run/rc.suspend.pid
zzz

exit 0


/etc/rc.resume looks like:

if [ -r /var/run/rc.suspend.pid ]; then
        kill -9 `cat /var/run/rc.suspend.pid`
        rm -f /var/run/rc.suspend.pid
        echo 'rc.suspend is killed'
fi

# Turns on a power supply of a card in the slot
inactivated.
# See also contrib/pccardq.c (only for PAO users).
# pccardq | awk -F '~' '$5 == "inactive" \
#       { printf("pccardc power %d 1", $1); }' | sh

logger -t apmd resumed at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`
sync && sync && sync

exit 0


I think that is most of the important info. Any help? Thanks.
