sleep article on notebook vs sleepd

http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/55988

idea of using gnome-power-manager

now see the comment

Suspend assumes gnome/kde is running

Pressing the suspend-key will call /etc/acpi/sleebtn.sh, which uses acpi_fakekey to generate an event on /dev/input/event*, which is received by gnome-power-manager or similar applications.

To get suspend to work without gnome-power-manager,
replace the acpi_fakekey line in sleepbtn.sh with the line:/etc/acpi/sleep.sh sleep

now we need to compare to setting this up with the sleepd
