Description Horst H. von Brand 2011-10-07 16:04:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
This netbook has a sleep key (Fn + Esc), it used to put the machine to suspend mode. Lately it doesn't work anymore. As now the Gnome shell doesn't offer suspend, just power off, suspending this machine is at least awkward (need to check the command tool).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pm-utils-1.4.1-12.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
Each time ;-)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press suspend key combination
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No effect

Expected results:
Suspend

BTW, some other Fn combinations do work (i.e., Fn + F2 == battery starts the power statistics application)

What does xev print when you press the key?

BTW, pm-suspend run from a terminal does suspend the machine.

Just tried again after today's round of updates. Now the machine suspends without a hitch.
