hi guys,

After tpowa updated kernel26 2.6.15.1-2, we now can use suspend to ram
again. In the last day or so i spend making powersave ready for
archlinux. I now can finaly suspend my system.

I just added the package to unstable, cause it is something that could
cause corruption data.

known issues:
- nforce drivers won't work for suspend, your soundcard will be not
making any noise after suspend, it is blacklisted.
- nvidia driver will work if you use nvagp in your xorg.conf. add
'Option "NvAGP" "1"' to your Device section. 
- there is a blacklist of modules, they will be unloaded if possible and
reloaded on resume.
- netfs network and alsa will be stopped on suspend and started again on
resume.

requirements
- hal 0.5.5.1-5
- kernel 2.6.15.1-2
- acpid

If you are going to test it, please keep in mind you will have all of
your important docs closed. 

how to use it:
install powersave from unstable. 
start the powersaved daemon.
run hal-system-power-suspend

see if it works, if it doesn't you can look at /var/log/suspend2ram.log
and see what goed wrong, try to give any feedback on troubles and so. 
This way we can try to get as much working suspend to ram systems.

I hope people will test it and give me feedback what should be improved.
feedback can be given on irc/mailinglist/bugtracker.

Greetings,

Arjan Timmerman a.k.a Blaasvis
