[gentoo-user] Standby not working

Hi guys!
Im on a Toshiba Satellite A70, and was wondering how to get the suspend
to RAM
working. KDE can initiate a hibernate, which will basically make the
system hang
when it should turn off. Thats ok though, I really only want suspend to
ram working,
and for my purposes, couldn't care less about hibernate.

I followed the guide on the Gentoo site:
www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml
but when I typed: echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
nothing happens. Absolutely nothing.

echo -n standby > /sys/power/state

also does nothing. Any ideas on how to get this working?
Thanks!
Ian
