Thanks James,

I actually already have all of this. Aside from the power button not
working, I have the issue that the if I wake the system up (from the
power button as that is all that works). ACPI suspend to RAM is
definitely enabled, and I have set it to accept any input as a wake up
call.

I need to restart the lirc daemon and then Mythtv as well. I tried using
the hibernate scripts to shutdown myth, then restart lirc before
restarting myth on wakeup, but it didn't work.

>From other posts that I have read it looks like people are having more
success on older kernels, so I will try this. I have posted to the LIRCC
list as well, in case it is a bug upstream.. but the list appears dead
(3 mails in 24 hours)

Regards

Allan.

Its not dead, it just isn't nearly as lively as this list. And if
nobody knows the answer (I don't), they have no reason to speak up.
