I think you have leapt to a conclusion unsupported by facts :-) You have proved, to my satisfaction, that S3 doesn't work. However, I don't believe you've proved that you are IN S3 when your system hangs at other times. > cd /proc/acpi > echo 1 > sleep > (nothing) > echo 2 > sleep > (nothing) That's normal. I've never come across a system that did S2. > echo 3 > sleep > (frozen) This still looks strange - I've never heard of a system that will go into S3 but not S1. This is why I suggest that the acpi support list is more appropriate - anyone who responds there will actually understand ACPI :-) > I'm already subscribed but I'm not even sure if my question is for them > yet.

It IS a very low volume list, but the people (besides me) who might respond there are mostly ACPI developers who understand it very well. I've got more thoughts, but I'll respond in-thread...
