I can tell you this much, from using a Thinkpad X22 with Fedora Core 3. You may notice different results on a different machine. (Who knows - for another laptop brand, suspend to ram might actually work :) ) - ACPI suspend hangs the machine. - Fedora out-of-box doesn't support software suspend (to disk) - for that you may need a kernel recompile. - APM suspend (to RAM) won't work unless you stop the PCMCIA service before suspending, and even then it won't wake up sometimes. - APM hibernate (suspend to disk) works nearly flawlessly after creating a hibernation file with tphdisk. You don't even have to stop PCMCIA. The only catch is that you must mute and unmute sound with amixer after resuming. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry teacher, Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
