:-) I would like this too. Unfortunately, I have no clue on how to detect that we're plugged into a dock. And it's not even clear that acpi-support is really the package that should take care of that. After all, acpi-support is only a set of hacks so that supend/resume works with as many laptops as possible. I'm ccing debian-devel to have some more comments on this issue. > Furthermore, ideally, I should be able to boot up my laptop out of the > dock, hibernate it (which works), plug it into the dock, wake it up from > its torpid state, and have a working IDE CDROM on /dev/hdc and > /dev/dvd What happens currently when you wake it up? Do you have no cdrom at all, or do you simply have it as /dev/hdc only? > That said, it's not a huge bug but it would lend a certain amount of > functionality. Feel free to provide a patch. :-) I don't know it it's reasonable to call hotswap systematically after a resume (if it's installed). For everybody: new (co-)maintainers for acpi-support are always welcome as I'm certainly not the best maintainer for that package (I don't care enough about it, I simply wanted it to make my laptop suspend/resume). Also such a package would benefit from having several maintainers with different hardware configurations...
