Guest linuxpenguin Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi All! Im somewhat of a noobie so please bear with me. I recently learned te commands for sleeping my laptop: echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep and echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep the problem is when I preform echo 3 sleep my computer will wake, but the screen will not turn on, so i must reboot, and when i preform an echo 4 sleep, my computer just turns off, it does not "hibernate". Any help with how i might go about fixing this would be great because I need a sleep function if I am going to switch from windows. Thanx for the help.

axel_2078 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) I've never even gotten the sleep function to work in Windows....in any version of Windows for that matter. Everytime I try to wake it up, the computer comes back on, but the monitor stays off, so I have to reboot also.

ac_dispatcher Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Same here. I cant get sleep to work right in XP much less Linux. But to be honest getting that to work in Linux is a crap shoot at best. Its all about how lucky you are.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
