Would > anything on a ThinkPad then generate KEY_SLEEP? It has a moon, but its UI function is sleep-to-ram by contrast with fn+f12, which is sleep to disk. If the thinkpad didn't have fn+f12, fn+f4 would probably remain as KEY_SLEEP. That's why I said "normal keyboards", those don't have anything like the fn+f12 icon. So, nothing will generate KEY_SLEEP (by default) in a thinkpad, unless you plug some sort of external keyboard in it. >> KEY_HIBERNATE (new) - Sleep to disk, or RediSafe (disk+ram). >> (thinkpad fn+f12). > > ThinkPad configuration puts their version of RediSafe under suspend. > Hibernate to me means the machine should shut off. I haven't followed > the story so far, but this seems like a big change. It is not a big change, it is just being standardized to what X.org and HAL want. In fact, it is being done to *avoid* fn+f12 doing suspend-to-ram by default :) As for Redisafe, I see your point. Still, thinkpad-acpi doesn't care if Redisafe is done in suspend or hibernation, since there is absolutely no difference from thinkpad-acpi's PoV... so it depends on whatever userspace has been configured to do. BTW, the userspace people call that "hybrid sleep". -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
