Well, with the Mandrake kernel I did better than this...  the sleep
light would come on, but only in X would it not come back.  In a
console, sleeping worked fine.

I've got both 2.4.19rc3 and 2.4.19rc3-ben0 (currently booted into
2.4.19rc3) and it works just peachy.  Both were built from source.

No special configs... I've got pmud-0.10.1-1mdk installed,
pbbuttonsd-0.4.10-3rph and gtkpbbuttons-0.4.6b-4rph (the rph packages
are basic rebuilds of the packages Ben mentioned on the list a while
ago).  The only config changes were to /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf to set pmu
to /dev/pmu and mixer to /dev/mixer (forget what the original settings
were).  Are you sure that pbbuttonsd is running?  It would silently
error out on me and say OK when starting with the initscript, but
would actually never start because the paths to the mixer and pmu were
wrong.  Running "pbbuttonsd" on the commandline directly will tell you
if there are errors in the config.
