Hi!

As S4Bios was created to use the ability of the machines who still have some APM support to overcome the current limitations and difficulties of swsusp, isn't it possible to do the same with S1?No. S1 is a very simple suspend state, and IIRC, doesn't require that devices even be powered down. There are two solutions to your problem - a quick easy one that anyone can do, and a right one that we desparately need people to start doing. The first: userspace. You may be able to turn off the backlight via some command. I've seen it done before, but it's been a long time. You may also be able to spin down the disks.
Actually, I have not found out a way to turn off backlight on toshiba 4030cdt without using APM. Nor I know how to turn off backlight on hp omnibook.
The right way to do it is to fix the drivers to properly handle suspend/ resume transitions. It's needed for all power states, as well as supporting runtime power management.
Well, and should S1 turn backlight off? It seems like the original poster wants S3, not S1. Pavel -- When do you have a heart between your knees?
