[TriLUG] ACPI power managment

[Josh Vickery]

I use software suspend 2 on my dell 600m

http://www.suspend2.net

I have acpid running, and have mapped my power button to execute the
hibernate script.

I have not had much luck with the built in suspending on the 600m, but
things may be different with the d610
