While I generally agree with the point you make -- that we have appropriate kernel interfaces that allow the kernel to decide wisely when to sleep -- I have to say that making apps suspend-aware and keeping our dcon tricks is still important for some use cases. e-books and slide-ware (powerpoint) make the (ahem) point. cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
