Cool, it's working.

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:

Hopefully this provides enough information?

Does it hibernate with Hoary?


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. :)
