In fact I don't use any customized script to suspend-to-ram or -to-disk, but I think that it should work fine w/ tools from stock FC5. I don't know at all what mechanism is raised when I press the Fn+StandBy key (suspend-to-ram) or Fn+Suspend (suspend-to-disk) and they work well. It's not acpid, probably not GNOME, so what else, the kernel? Also, suspending to ram or to disk work well from the GNOME menus. pm-hibernate and pm-suspend work well too (maybe those ones are used by GNOME?), as I wrote in one of my previous email (other thread about button/power). > All the other things you mention work great except wifi using LEAP > authentication.
