laptop acpi

[Simon Bell]

Hi
 
I have a Sharp PC-FS2518 laptop. In order to get the battery meter applet
working i enabled acpi in grub and it appears to be working. Shutting the
laptop appears to trigger the screen off etc, so i assume acpi is working in
at least some ways. However, i cant seem to make it suspend. Ive tried the
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep command, but nothing at all happens. The only
command that works in this way is echo 5, which appears to immediately cut
the power to the laptop. Is there an easy way to get these things to work
properly?
 
thanks
Simon
