| Sleep states summary
| ====================
| 
| There are three different interfaces you can use, /proc/acpi should
| work like this:
| 
| In a really perfect world:
| echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for standby
| echo 2 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for suspend to ram
| echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for suspend to ram, but with more
| power conservative
| echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for suspend to disk
| echo 5 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for shutdown unfriendly the system
| 
| and perhaps
| echo 4b > /proc/acpi/sleep      # for suspend to disk via s4bios

I do get:

root@hermes:~# echo 2 > /proc/acpi/sleep
bash: /proc/acpi/sleep: No such file or directory

Kernel release is 2.6.14-rc1, ACPI/Power-related-config:

System is a Thinkpad R40, Debian/sarge with kernel 2.6.14-rc1. Did I miss something obvious?

You're right, swsusp.txt is out of date.
/proc/acpi/sleep is deprecated -- and the S2 comment was nonsense from the start.

Enable CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP

for /proc/acpi/sleep, you'll need
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_FS
which will allow
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_SLEEP

Try 'cat /sys/power/state' and then echo one of the keywords back to this file.
