Thanks folks! Turns out that if you really are running the framebuffer, putting the laptop to sleep is trivial (turns out I wasn't running the framebuffer, but "native", whatever that truly means, before).
I've also got X "running", sort of, with Branden's X packages and Michael D's DRM modules, on BenH's recent kernel. Here's the last problem -- I'm getting severe flicker (which I didn't see before under X11, but did on the console before I figured out the framebuffer issue), under X11. I'm using a configuration similar to Jesus' suggested XF86Config-4 file (almost exactly), and plugged in the output of a local run of "fbset -x" into the proper place, to no avail. I'm sure I'm forgetting one STUPID little thing; can anyone loan me a clue? best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch. Asst.
