I tested "plain" 2.4.12 from Linus and it suffer the same problem. Pressing Fn+Suspend does nothing on my Dell Latitude C600, so I thought it would not be usefull to test against 2.4.12-ac. Tell me if I am plain wrong on this, otherwise, I guess my problem is not exactly the same than Samuli Suonpaa's.
>From the last thread on this subject, I could narrow down the problem between 2.4.9 (working) and 2.4.10 (broken), so I did not test against -ac. I rather tested against 2.4.10-preXX. I hope this is not a problem.
Sumary: ------- Hardware: Dell Latitude C600 When apm is broken, pressing Fn+Suspend does nothing and launching "apm -s" returns "apm: Resource temporarily unavailable".
2.4.9 ==> apm works 2.4.10-pre8 ==> apm works 2.4.10-pre10 ==> apm works 2.4.10-pre11 ==> apm works 2.4.10-pre12 ==> apm broken 2.4.10 ==> apm broken 2.4.12 ==> apm broken 2.4.13 ==> apm broken
The problem appeared in 2.4.10-pre12. I read the Changelog but it is not precise enough for me :-), I started to diff between pre11 and pre12 but I need a sleep now ... I already compiled to much kernels for tonight !
I am ready to test other things if I can help on this issue. Where could I get patches between pre11 and pre12 in small chunks to start some experimentation ?
