moin,

i tried to run two instances of apmd (with no X running) - what i got  
first is this:

- ---- snip ----
dvalin:~# apmd
It appears that an instance of apmd is already running as process 1590.
If in reality no instance of apmd is running, remove /var/run/apmd.pid.
- ---- snap ----

after 'rm /var/run/apmd.pid' i was allowed to run a 2nd instance of  
apmd and
invoking 'apm -s' did what it should - FR fell asleep and woke up on  
powerbutton

so for now i am clueless how to continue investigation .. :/

regards, morlac
