I want to initiate S4 state by closing the lid. I have a Latitude D630, which is basically the smaller brother of the D830. When it ran FreeBSD I had success in getting the D630 to sleep (s3) and resume. This was a while ago on 8-STABLE with amd64. At least back then, you would need an amd64 install to get this working (something with acpi being better in amd64 then it was in i386). I am not sure that is still the case, but I would not be surprised if it is. However, before you run off and reinstall: (again back then) both the bge and wpi driver (i.e. LAN and WLAN) did not work properly after resuming. This basically made sleeping the laptop useless. I'm not sure this is such good news, but I hope it is informative. If you manage to get it working let me know. Regards, -- - Frank
