acpi sleep mode amilo l1300]

> Do you have 'acpi-support' apt-get'ted?  I'd do that.

Yep, searched synaptic for "acpi". It found 3 packages, "acpi", "acpid",
and "acpi-support". So it seems Wart installed everything by default.

So it's strange that I don't have that "/etc/default/acpi-support"
file...

I started Haory Array 4, it does have that file. I modified the file as
you did, rebooted, then pressed the power button. But, it didn't go to
sleep, it simply plain turned the machine off. Well at least Hoary
captured this APCI event, so the Ubuntu was shut-down properly, all apps
were closed automatically, all services turned off properly etc.

I will look, would love to see it working at least once :o)
But if one has to search the web and and fiddle with the command line to
put his desktop to sleep, people won't even the feature, because they
even know it's available ! :-/
I hope that Hoary will add a button/icon in the "Computer" menu, that
says "Put to sleep", or whatever term applies, and/or a little dialog in
the Computer->System configuration, or Desktop Preferences, that lets
you set all ACPI functions easily, like what we have to configure the
monitor power management scheme, in the screensaver dialog, for example.
