Sounds like the on/off button isn't configured as a wakeup source.
Without knowing anything about the platform (iow, where the on/off
button is connected) it's hard to tell what could be the problem.

Has the on/off button ever worked?

Really, what we need is for someone to step up to take on sorting out
Zaurus.  Looking at this thread, it seems there's very few people here
willing.  Also, I think Richard Purdie has moved on from Zaurus stuff.

I know there are a small number of people on linux-arm-kernel who have
access to some Zaurus platforms, but I don't know what they are.  Really,
you should be posting to that list if you seriously want help, because
I doubt they're subscribed to LKML.
