Really interesting issue. If you are successful and can come up with an HOWTO, drop a mail here :) By the way, why suspend-to-ram is second choice? Shouldn't it be much faster? I don't know that much about suspend issues (heck, I even don't have a laptop), so I'd like to know. m. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
