That's normal.  As I mentioned above, it's not fully enabled yet, only enough to test whether the graphical display itself works well.</blockquote><div> Cool, it's working. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">> Yes, all the special keys seemed to work, although I wasn't able to bring > the laptop back up from a hibernate state. I'm afraid this doesn't give us enough information to diagnose the problem.</blockquote><div> Yes, I knew this.  This comment was meant more as a "Congratulations, the hotkeys are all working" than an accusation about the hibernate not working. I've investigated the sleeping/hibernation issue.  Sleep works fine, you just have to enable it by editing /etc/default/acpi-support.  Is there a gui configuration option for this somewhere that I've missed? Hibernation is still not useable.  It hibernates correctly, (at least from what I can tell.  The screen goes black, and after a few seconds the light indicate that the computer is off.   Once I hit the power button, it goes through the normal post, then starts to boot, it looks normal until the splash screen starts, at which point it quickly dissappears and I am left with the following: /scripts/init-premount/usplash:44 chmod: not found a a a a a a   /dev/cdrom: open failed: No medium found   Unable to find volume group hda1 At which point, I try to use CTRL-ALT-DEL, and get the following message: No reboot fixup found for your hardware.   Unfortunately, I couldn't find this in the kernel logs, but here is a copy /var/log/messages: <a href="http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~weckerl/message-T23">http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~weckerl/message-T23</a> Hopefully this provides enough information? </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Does it hibernate with Hoary?</blockquote><div> No, it didn't hibernate with Hoary, and I don't have the time to re-install hoary to check it out. Hopefully the info I provided will be enough.   Keep up the good work. :) Lakin</div></div>
