Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Reported at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=345500 The automatic suspend problem of as soon as klaptopdaemon starts up when KDE is started, is still there. If I remove the rc file for klaptopdaemon and start KDE, it works. But then when I again configure klaptopdaemon and select "Suspend" in the "Button Actions" tab for "LID Close Switch" and select Apply, the laptop goes into and endless loop of suspend (susped-to-RAM). Note: I've got another laptop (Dell D600) on which this particular issue isn't seen, though that laptop doesn't resume at all, instead upon resume it simply resets the machine. Let's not get into this laptops problem. This was just for your information that maybe it could help you. So, since another make laptop isn't having exactly the same problem, I come up with this question in my mind. Maybe you could answer it. On Default/Stock Linux Kernels where Suspend1 is the only suspend mechanism, how does klaptopdaemon handle "suspend-to-RAM" and "suspend-to-DISK". If it does that with the help of ACPI, then we might narrow it down hoping that the ACPI support for my actual laptop (against which this defect was filed) has a broken ACPI implementation. If klaptopdaemon doesn't use ACPI and uses some other mechanism of its own to trigger "suspend-to-RAM" and "suspend-to-DISK" events, then definitely it should be a klaptopdaemon related defect which still isn't fixed in 3.4.2 I can confirm that this is a klaptopdaemon bug because now I've switched to kpowersave and I see no such issues.
I have personally contacted the KLaptopDaemon author/assigned and he confirmed that the tool is deprecated in KDE SC 4 (replaced by PowerDevil) and that there are no current efforts to support/maintain the KDE SC 3 version. Because of this, I will close the reports as UNMAINTAINED. Regards
