I've got an Inspiron 5000e which has all sorts of weird lockups. Many times directly after a screen blanking it just locks up totally (including ping !). Or sometimes there are weird lockups with suspend/resume, yes. As this machine is (in)famous for its "wonderfully working" APM support (boolean variable dell_crap in apm.c of newer, knowing kernels), I strongly suspect that the BIOSes of Dell notebooks are [EMAIL PROTECTED] in general. Dell is NOT doing a good job here. A new BIOS has been rumoured to come out for months, nothing happened. (mine is from August !) Dell, do something about that, damn ! Andreas Mohr
