At that point people > there are buying Macs. Not coming back the second time usually means it staggers through the first dazed and confused, but not badly enough so that you notice. The second attempt kills it. In this case, I'd go looking for something that plays up after the first resume. You might also try some of the hints on the suspend2 web site, such as trying from init S with minimal modules loaded. (If that works, you know it's something loaded later in the boot process that messes things up). > I'm going to get a sacrificial (but modern) dell laptop in a month or > two.

I try to be as helpful as I can, and there are tons of users on there with good suggestions and experience you can make use of as well. > 'course the current state of the drm/fb interaction is yet another can > of worms, one in a good way of being solved though. Yes. You'll have much better success without DRI in the picture.
