Hello I've configured acpid on my laptop to make the powerbutton hibernate the laptop. I modified /etc/acpid/events/power.conf with the following content: event=PWRF action=/usr/bin/pm-hibernate On the first boot it works like it should, but after the laptop has resumed, the powerbutton doesn't respond anymore. This is an extract from /var/log/acpid when the powerbutton responds: [Wed Apr 1 15:36:46 2009] client connected from 2332[0:0] [Wed Apr 1 15:36:46 2009] 1 client rule loaded [Wed Apr 1 15:37:16 2009] received event "button/power PWRF 00000080 00000001" [Wed Apr 1 15:37:16 2009] notifying client 2198[68:68] [Wed Apr 1 15:37:16 2009] notifying client 2332[0:0] [Wed Apr 1 15:37:16 2009] executing action "/usr/bin/pm-hibernate" [Wed Apr 1 15:37:16 2009] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Wed Apr 1 18:10:47 2009] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Wed Apr 1 18:10:47 2009] action exited with status 0 [Wed Apr 1 18:10:47 2009] completed event "button/power PWRF 00000080 00000001" After the first resume, nothing like that appears in the logs, like the powerbutton was never pushed. I have acpid version 1.0.4-7.el5 installed, I did not experience this issue on another distro which ships with acpid 1.0.8. Thanks, Best regards, Glenn Matthys
