At first a warm "Hello" to all the people here!

May somebody could help me with the following issue:

I cannot suspend (neither to ram nor to disk) with

Code: Select all

# solid-powermanagement suspend to_*

while

Code: Select all

 echo -n "*" > /sys/power/state

works perfect.

Following the hints and instructions I have already found here I've checked the following:

Code: Select all

# lshal | egrep -i power.?management
  info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement', 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq'} (string list)
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_argnames = {'num_seconds_to_sleep', 'num_seconds_to_sleep', '', '', '', 'enable_power_save'}(string list)
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths = {'hal-system-power-suspend', 'hal-system-power-suspend-hybrid', 'hal-system-power-hibernate', 'hal-system-power-shutdown', 'hal-system-power-reboot', 'hal-system-power-set-power-save'} (string list)
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_names = {'Suspend', 'SuspendHybrid', 'Hibernate', 'Shutdown', 'Reboot', 'SetPowerSave'} (string list)
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_signatures = {'i', 'i', '', '', '', 'b'} (string list)
  power_management.acpi.linux.version = '20080609'  (string)
  power_management.can_hibernate = true  (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend = true  (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false  (bool)
  power_management.is_powersave_set = false  (bool)
  power_management.quirk.s3_bios = true  (bool)
  power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore = true  (bool)
  power_management.type = 'acpi'  (string)

as root
and

Code: Select all

# solid-powermanagement query suspend
to_disk
to_ram


as user.

What else could I check and do to make it work?

BTW Im using KDE4.1.3 on a Lenovo T61 Thinkpad; distro is Gentoo
