This makes standby work but suspend does not.
Interestingly enough, when I do a standby, I get in the log:
APM BIOS received system standby notify
APM BIOS received system standby resume notify
If I use apm --suspend, I get only the following line:
APM BIOS received normal resume notify
However, if I press the laptop's suspend/hibernate key, I get exactly
the same messages I do when using standby (the two lines above). apm
--standby likewise gives only one line: "APM BIOS received system
standby resume notify". I am rather puzzled at the moment.
Apparently the machine is mistaking suspend events for standbys at
some point along the line.
