Hi there,

I have an Acer Aspire 1524WLMi AMD 64 laptop and it's a really nice
piece of kit... very Linux compatible.  I have been testing out the
ACPI on it and so far so good.  It seems to hibernate OK and it
suspends too.  Now the problem...

How do I wake up the laptop when it has been suspended?

There is a key marked 'Zz' and a light with the same mark comes on
when I suspend.  The key is one of the special 'Fn' keys though, and I
can't seem to find the right settings to enable these keys to work.

Is this the key I'll need to press to wake up the laptop?

How do I setup the keyboard to respond to these keys?

I have been using Kubuntu for a wee while now and it's great... no
major problems.  I love Debian and this distro is just what I was
looking for:  Debian, KDE, and up to date software.  Best of all, it
runs on my AMD64!  Great!

I would really appreciate some help on this guys... :-D

Cheers,

Peter.
