I have been running Mandrake 9.1 on a Gateway 450SX4 for more than 2
years now - I have been running it pretty much "out of the box" for all
of that time. Suspend, hibernate, etc - NG, but I haven't cared enough
to try to do anything about it.
I am sluggish to move to 10.x because I depend on being able to 'tap' on
the touch pad - a feature which seems to have been dropped in 10.x (at
least out of the box).
Regards
Fred James

I've been using FC2 and 3 on one notebook and Kubuntu on my wife's.
Niether of them has a substantially functional Suspend to disk setup at
present though. My Work notebook in fact got screwed up when a client
closed the lid on me during the lunchbreak of a day long presentation.
Fedora seems to have problems with external monitors(projectors) plugged
in to it. I've got the current setup working, but before it was a
nightmare. Projectors would only work from Concole. Once I started X
they would fail to find a sync frequency.

I have (had) a Dell Inspiron 1150 with Ubuntu 5.04. Suspend to ram and
disk both worked but I had to select in the menu. I couldn't get it to
work when the lid closed. I think it was something in the scripts that
wasn't quite right but never figured it out. (And my laptop since died
on me 12 days after warranty expired.)

Just curious what distro everyone is using on a laptop they
might own and how well things like suspend-to-ram/disk and
hibernate work for them? Speedstep doesn't seem to be an issue
but proper widescreen has only worked "out of the box" on one
distro out of three so far (FC4 worked, Mandriva 10.2 and
Kubuntu 5.04 failed) but FC4 puked after doing updates.
