    I am going to bring a laptop that I haven't been able to tame.  It 
supports APCI but won't go into standby properly.

    In Standby, the screen goes blank, but the backlight stays on.
    When the cover is closed the backlight goes off. (Probably a hidden 
mechanical switch.)
    I can get it into disk suspend (which I don't desire), in which case 
the backlight goes off.  However, it locks the screen (which I don't 
want - or at least want to have a choice) and knocks out the sound.

    I assume this will be easy for someone who knows what they are doing 
- which isn't me.
