Now, there is a function key Fn next to alt which you press to use them kinda things, which works. However, when I hit ctrl+alt+f4 for example... it'll still try and suspend for some reason, like the Fn key is being pressed. Alt+F4 works alright, but I can't use that to switch from X to the console, only from console to console. For now I have resorted to trying to to remember to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to the console ( which takes 2 hits, because it still tries the function thing assigned to F1... which doesn't seem to do anything :) ) and then Alt+F keying to the console I wanted. Can anyone suggest why it might be doing this? Is it fixable do you think? I'm going to look into getting dhclient to reconfigure fxp0 after suspend later.. so i'll probably be back asking for help :) Other than that, ACPI seems to work, dunno if it suspends properly yet, sound works, cardbus works (with my intel cardbus thing, still having troubles with my wireless) .. I think everything works fine after the ali_agp.c patch. I can get battery level with apm -l and through the ACPI sysctl, so I assume both APM and ACPI are working correctly.
