If I understand you correctly, you can suspend and resume without problems if you use this command directly? That means you almost have it working already. We just have to figure out how to make sure the --quirk-s3-bios option is invoked when you press Fn-moon.

This is actually the problem.

This might be a misunderstanding: I think you should put

DISPLAY_QUIRK_S3_BIOS="true"
into this file.

I made a bad copy&paste from the page.
In my /etc/pm/config.d/config is written exactly as above

Do you need help?

In a perfect world the manpages should always list the configuration files and directories. Sometimes it is necessary to use google or to list all files of a package and make a guess.

Thanks to your help and suggestions I've found this http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils
which is a very helpful page indeed.
It explains all the nuts and bolts of pm-utils.

Nevertheless I'm still unable to suspend/hibernate the machine properly, even if I'm quite happy since I'm starting to understand something.

Wed Jan 9 16:02:52 CET 2008: running hook: /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/00clear ===== /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions: line 28: [: /etc/pm/config.d/config: binary operator expected /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions: line 28: [: /etc/pm/config.d/config: binary operator expected

where around line 28 in /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions

I find this:

source_configs()
{

        cfgs="/etc/pm/config.d/*[^~]"
        for cfg in $cfgs ; do
                [ -f $cfgs ] || continue
                set -a
                . $cfg
                set +a
        done

}

I'm not a programmer, so do you have any idea, please ?

Do you need more help?

BTW, thanks for being a good interlocutor. I appreciate it a lot. I'm quite alone here dealing with Linux. I switched "definitely" to it only 6 months ago or so.

We are somehow colleagues. You can find me here http://www4.unifi.it/dssnp/english/professors/pantani.htm
