   Hello,
   I am new here. I installed Slitaz just 2 days ago and I am surprised how fast and small it is. Nice.
   I have no prblem with wifi, vga as some people have but I would like to solve ony one issue. Is it possible to make sleep my notebook by closing lid? It does not work. I have tried something with pm-utils. It suspend PC but does not wake up. I get just black screen. What is your experience?
   Thanx for quick answer...

   Hi,
   As you have installed pm-utils, I suggest you to try to suspend/resume your notebook from the command line:
   

   # pm-suspend

   You certainly have to press the power button to resume from suspend.
   If suspend did not work correctly, you will find some valuable information in the log file /var/log/pm-suspend.log.
   Check also the output of:
   

   # pm-is-supported --suspend ; echo $?

   This command will do some sanity checking and report any errors it finds in your configuration. If it says '0', your configuration is ok.

   If suspend/resume is ok, add the following sequence in .config/openbox/rc.xml (current user) and /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml (future users) at the end of the keyboard section. Edit both files, search for </keyboard> and insert:
   

   <keybind key="XF86Sleep">
   	<action name="Execute">
   		<startupnotify>
   			<enabled>true</enabled>
   			<name>Suspend</name>
   		</startupnotify>
   		<command>
   			dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal
   			/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer
   			org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0
   		</command>
   	</action>
   </keybind>

   It will suspend your notebook when the lid closes.

   Run
   

   # xev

   to find out what key binding to use for laptop lid closure. Its maybe not XF86Sleep.

   The dbus-send command:
   

   dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal
   			/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer
   			org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0

   allow a regular user to suspend without the need for a root password.

   Thanx for answer
   Your solution does work. When I close lid, it suspend my ntb. Problem is it does not resume. As I wrote above, only black screen remains.

   ok, if you run manually:
   

   # pm-suspend

   and suspend/resume is ok, but resume is broken with bindings in Openbox, then it's safer to use acpid.
   Install acpid:
   

   # tazpkg get-install acpid

   then edit /etc/acpi/button.sh as following:
   

   lid)
   	if [ -e /usr/sbin/pm-suspend ] ; then
   		logger "Event: button/lid - suspending"
   		/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
   	else
   		logger "Event: button/lid - /usr/sbin/pm-suspend not found, skipping.."
   	fi
   ;;
   esac

   Hope it works.

   I'm afraid it won't work, acpid is actually broken and needs fixes.

   Hi!
   acpid should be fixed.
   Changes committed in wok changeset 12209:fa389f5b7eb9.

   acpid is now configured to allow a notebook to enter in Sleep mode by closing the lid.
