Oops... sometime when I wasn't looking, the "disable" option snuck into the "device apm0" line in the config. (sheepish grin) Sorry about that. So now I can get APM status info, but suspend isn't working reliably. I haven't been able to completely characterize it yet, but so far symptoms roughly are that suspend works sometimes from the console, and never from X. When it doesn't work, `zzz` causes the screen to go dark, though the disk still spins, the status LCD still says the machine is on, and it becomes non responsive to keypresses (including the power key) and pings. Hard reboot is necessary, with the usual subsequent complaints from fsck. Also, pressing the power key while the machine is awake (which in Windows induces hibernation) causes a spectacular "meltdown" of the display in which everything fades to white over the course of 2-3 seconds. Again, the machine stops listening to the keyboard/trackpad and ping. Any ideas? Thanks...
