Power Magagement: Putting a Biege G3 in sleep/suspend mode

[Jean Boucher]

Searched the archive for something related to this
topic. Only found something on the Titanium, not the
biege G3. I sent this on the newbie list back on Aug
16, but haven't gotten any replies yet. Thiought I'd
try it on this general list.

Has anyone found how to get a biege G3 (OldWorld)
PowerMac running YDL 2.3 to go into sleep or suspend
power-saving mode? I tried reconfiguring the kernel
looking for any reference to APM or Power Management.
All I found so far are the man pages for pmud, which
appears to be only for the PowerBooks/iBooks. Is that
true? If so, dare I hope for an enhancement that will
support PowerMacs other than laptops?

Whenever I run "pmud -d" I get:
pmud[1722]: pmud [treshold = 420, margin = 15] started
pmud[1722]: opening /dev/adb
pmud[1722]: opening /dev/pmu
pmud[1722]: Couldn't open /dev/pmu or /dev/misc/pmu
pmud[1722]: daemon stopped (Couldn't open /dev/pmu or
/dev/misc/pmu)

even though /dev/pmu is there
crw-------    1 root     root      10, 154 Mar 10
08:09 /dev/pmu

Do I have any hope in getting this G3 to sleep? Thanks
in advance.
Jean.
