I wrote a script which the user must call to suspend the machine: #!/bin/sh esdctl off apm -s sleep 1 esdctl on And I put a script named 01sound into /etc/apm/event.d in order to remove the sound modules when suspending: #!/bin/sh # reinitialize sound if [ "$1" = suspend ]; then echo -n "Turning off sound ..." modprobe -r i810_audio echo " done" elif [ "$1" = resume ]; then echo -n "Turning on sound ..." modprobe i810_audio echo " done" fi This solution works partly in so far, that after resuming there is no sound but I can execute "esdctl on" to get it back (the stupid sound that the panel makes also comes back). I wonder why that command is not executed in the scriptafter seuming. Felix
