I think the mistake is in this line: [ -f $cfgs ] || continue It should have "$cfg" instead of "$cfgs": [ -f $cfg ] || continue This part of the script saves a list of all files in /etc/pm/config.d/ in the variable $cfgs and then it loops over the elements in this list, assigns one after the other to $cfg, tests if the current $cfg file exists and executes (sources) it if it is a regular file. The mistake in the script explains why your configuration commands are not executed. Maybe it will work if you correct it by removing the superfluous "s". If that does not make it work then we will have to find out what exactly happens when you press Fn-moon. After you press it you should find some information about this in the syslog. I propose that you press Fn-moon, get the laptop working again (hard reboot, I assume) and then run this: grep acpid /var/log/syslog (Normally the ACPI daemon is the one responsible for handling the special keys. It should write in the log which script is called. We might then be able to adapt this script to your needs.) > BTW, thanks for being a good interlocutor.

There is a lot to learn in the beginning, of course, but the good thing is that it gets easier quickly and that the overall system design is much more logical than the one of a certain other OS. Also keep in mind that specialized laptop hardware and functions like suspend are among the most difficult to configure under Linux; most other things are much easier to get working. > We are somehow colleagues.
