Oh, bother - this will never end :)<br />
<br />
The new kernel in the new Slackware has yet again a different way to configure ACPI. First, edit <code>/etc/rc.d/rc.acpid</code> and enable logging, by appending <code>-l</code> to this line:<pre>    /usr/sbin/acpid -l</pre><br />
This will allow you to see acpi events in <code>/var/log/messages</code> when you press butons.<br />
<br />
The instructions for the power button are the same as the original ones, but for sleep (Fn+F4) you have to change the event. New /etc/acpi/events/standby:<pre>event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
action=/usr/local/sbin/acpistandby.sh</pre><br />
And the script <code>/usr/local/sbin/acpistandby.sh</code>:<pre># everything before this point is sleep
echo mem &gt; /sys/power/state
# everything after this point is wakeup</pre><br />
Note that removing the usb modules isn't needed any more.
