I have an IBM X31 which can't do ACPI sleep while in X11. it sleeps
fine, but it dies on wake.
If I do the acpi sleep from a VT console, its fine.
But to get to VT, I have to hit keys. FN+<x> or CTRL+<x> sequences.
I'd love to have a script, which does the moral equivalent of:
#!/bin/sh
run-command-to-switch-to-VT-console
:
: (safe net shutdown for sleep)
sysctl -w machdep.sleepstate = 3
# wakeup, script re-runs
:
: (re-establish net state)
run-command-to-switch-to-X11
this could run from mouse, functionkey, whatever.
what are that pair of commands? Do they exist?
cheers
