Hi,
thanks for your hints. Unfortunately the thinkpad still does not suspend
even with a hibernation partition (I had some spare disk space left...).
But I found that the apm utility reports:
APM version: 1.2
APM Managment: Enabled
AC Line status: on-line
Battery status: high
Remaining battery life: 99%
Remaining battery time: unknown
Number of batteries: 1
Battery 0:
Battery status: high
Remaining battery life: 99%
Remaining battery time: unknown
Resume timer: disabled
Resume on ring indicator: enabled
APM Capacities:
global standby state
resume timer from standby
i.e. No suspend capability!
Any ideas why this could be?
thanks,
Johannes.
