However, ACPI suspend may be aviable. But there isn't any GUI for it (Rahul: will ACPI suspend also be included in the "suspend menu"?).

To activate ACPI suspend, write (on a root command line): echo "3" > /proc/acpi/sleep

Some computers are affected by this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166097

but it migth still be aviable by: echo "mem" > /sys/power/state

If you want to use any ACPI buttons on your computer to do this, theese can be programmed to run commands/scripts (as root) by modifying the files in /etc/acpid. If you want help with this, just ask.

Good luck.

Hibernation or software suspend is not available in Fedora Core 4. It is however enabled in the development tree and the next release might have it

This one is under consideration. http://gnome-power.sourceforge.net/. If software suspend is available in the next release, g-p-m might be too. It all depends on how much testing and feedback developers get from the development tree on this

That looks great!

BTW, even if software suspend isn't aviable, that app looks like it makes it possible to set preferences for a lot of other things.

Like what happens when i push that or that button, shutdown when power critically low, HW ACPI suspend as supported on many laptops (to me it looks like the code has become *very* much better recently) etc. Software suspend is great, but it isn't the only thing out there!

Same here. I recompiled the default FC4 kernel, only turned hibernation on, and works excellent. I wish they have had enabled it by default.

Hi, I am using gnome 2.10 on Fedora 4. I would like to know if there is a hibernate for gnome 2.10? If yes, how to use that. I try the gnome 2.12 live cd, and I notice there is a hibernate function. But i can't find the same hibernate on 2.10.

Thanks for any help.
