Hello, I've been running Fedora on my Lenovo X61s laptop for many (Fedora) generations. Fedora 15, however, was not my cup of tea, so I've decided to wipe out Fedora, and do a clean install of CentOS 6 (x86_64). Everything works OK, except that the laptop does not suspend when I close the lid. I've checked the settings in "Power Management", and it is set to suspend when the lit is closed, with or without AC power. This has always worked in Fedora. Suspending manually from the shutdown menu works. No messages are logged in /var/log/messages when the lit is closed. What have I overlooked? Mogens -- Mogens Kjaer, mk at lemo.dk http://www.lemo.dk

[CentOS] C6: Suspend on laptop close doesn't work
Hello, Probably the video driver is not working as it should, I have the same problem after installing the vendors proprietary drivers on my laptop. -- Adrian On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 3:02 PM, Mogens Kjaer <mk at lemo.dk> wrote:> Hello, > > I've been running Fedora on my Lenovo X61s laptop for many > (Fedora) generations. > > Fedora 15, however, was not my cup of tea, so I've decided to wipe > out Fedora, and do a clean install of CentOS 6 (x86_64). > > Everything works OK, except that the laptop does not suspend when > I close the lid. > > I've checked the settings in "Power Management", and it is set > to suspend when the lit is closed, with or without AC power. > > This has always worked in Fedora. > > Suspending manually from the shutdown menu works. > > No messages are logged in /var/log/messages when the lit is > closed. > > What have I overlooked? > > Mogens > -- > Mogens Kjaer, mk at lemo.dk > http://www.lemo.dk > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When I was trying out the RHEL6 beta I saw this problem on a recent model top line Thinkpad T series. (A T500? It's not in front of me right now.) That machine is now running RHEL6.1 and hibernation is fine, evidenced by the fact that two days ago I unplugged it after forgetting to shut it down and it recovered just fine. I don't recall if the fixed kernel was part of the initial RHEL6.0 or not, but you might find that as the CentOS updates catch up the problem may go away. [And with respect to the 'Effecting CentOS change' thread, yes having an early RHEL test system with a license and submitting a bug report works wonders. I was motivated by wanting CentOS to work on my new laptop ...] Devin
