ibook g3 sleep

[Chad J McQuinn]

Hi guys,

I've just gotten FC3 installed on an original ibook (G3 @ 300MHz). It's
actually working quite well. The system is primarily a stock install
from the ISO images.

I want to get sleep working, and had no idea how to do so, since I
haven't installed Linux on a Mac since about 1999. I did some searching
and it seems that sleep is fully supported on the G3 ibooks. What I
didn't see is how to achieve it.

I eventually caught wind of the pmud daemon, but couldn't find it
anywhere for FC3. In fact the only thing I could find was the RPM at

ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/people/dwmw2/fc2-mac/RPMS/

It's for FC2, but I figured I would give it a shot. It works, mostly.
Closing the lid does put the machine to sleep, however

1) If I'm in X11 when I close the lid, the machine sleeps, the HD powers
down, and the light throbs, but the screen stays *turned on* with a text
console (displaying messages about what has been shut down for sleep).

2) If I'm in runlevel 3 when I close the lid, the machine sleeps find
and the display turns off as well.

I can't check what happens in runlevel 5 when I close the lid while on a
virtual console because I can't figure out the magic sequence of
control-option-Fn-F1 to press.

I wonder if this is a kernel issue or a pmud issue? Should I be looking
for a newer version of either? The pmud I have is

pmud-0.10-1.1

and I have tried with two different kernels:

2.6.9-1.667 (stock install)

and

2.6.9-1.715_FC3.dwmw2

I've got some other nagging issues, but I will send those in a separate
message. Any help with this one is appreciated!

Thanks,
-Chad
