I had that behavior with my Dell Inspiron 7500 (ATI Rage Pro Mobility
chipset) when I ran RedHat 6.1 upgraded to XFree86 3.3.6 with the Mach64
drivers, but installed Mandrake 7.0 fixed it. I don't actually run
cooker; one would hope that it didn't retrograde.
Can you fill us in on what *you* are running (O/S, hardward, X version)?
The essential bit here is that /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts should contain
scripts that switch out of X before suspending . . .
I still can only suspend *once* between reboots, though; it doesn't lock
if I try, but it refuses to suspend again. Any ideas about that one
apprecited.
