It's in the middle of gregkh patch series but you can safely ignore the
fuzzes.
WIth this patch applied to 2.6.21-rc7-mm2, I am not seeing any of the
problems I reported against 2.6.21-mm1, except for one. The first
time I tried to suspend from the Gnome Quit dialog, I heard the pop
associated with unloading the sound module, but all the buttons stayed
lit up until I touched the Synaptics mousepad. Then the machine
entered the suspend state. Subsequent attempts to suspend worked
without a hitch (no mousepad events required). Another problem I
noticed is that the lib switch is not triggering a suspend. I tried
repeatedly.
Thanks,
Miles
