(newby qustion) sleep states?

Hi,

I have a Compaq Armada E500 laptop, which I used to be able to get to sleep 
using something like

echo x > /proc/acpi/sleep

/proc/acpi/sleep Isn't there anymore since the latest kernels, but according 
to various sources on the web i need to do

echo -n "x" > /sys/power/state

where x is anything that comes up after

cat /sys/power/state.

The latter command only returns 

standby mem

so no "disk". For now I'm fine with that, I'd be happy if

echo -n "standby" > /sys/power/state

would have any effect at all. Now since most things on acpi for linux are 
about 2.4 kernels and all pages that are talking about more recent kernels 
don't tell me how to find out what is going on when I give these commands, 
can someone tell me where I should look?

Another question: when I do a find "sleep" (using the / key) in make 
menuconfig, it returns me an ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_SLEEP (deprecated), which is 
supposed to be in ACPI support. However, I can't find it, nor by grepping 
the .config. Does anyone know why it shows up in the search results or how I 
can compile it into the kernel?

Thanks for any help,
Diederick
