S1 sleep mode on Dell Inspiron 8100
Hi!
I am trying configure ACPI on my Inspiron 8100. I am using the custom dsdt table, with acpi-patched kernel 2.4.22 . This is much better than what I had with my original Mandrake 9.2 install (my system wouldn't power off, hanged whenever I unplugged the AC adapter or tried to go into sleep mode). Now it powers off properly when I press the power button and handles AC unplug. However, I cannot have it go into S1 sleep mode. When I do echo 1 >/proc/acpi/sleep, the computer freezes, but the screen remains on, hdd too. Then if I press the power button it goes back normal. Is there something more to do to enter sleep mode? Guillaume

IIRC, I've found many times this issue in forums at DELL's. Some people were answered to manage the LID off using a script in /etc/acpid. In fact acpid detects an event that is equivalent to the sleep button, so you can bind other actions upon it (like turning off the LID, and so on), if your ACPI support (hardware/software) cannot do better. For radeon users there were solutions that I won't explain here because it's a lil' bit OT.
Using my DELL i8200 and SuSE 8.1 (2.4.19 with acpi 20020829) it's the same for me, that's why I use acpid's events to turn off the LID (cannot turn off the hdd because running daemons and ext3).
But mayde some ACPI people would provide a better answer or solutions?
Regards,

Well... cpu is sleeping and you _are_ in S1 sleep mode.
