I posted this a few days ago but haven't had any takers. Do I have to subscribe to another, gdm, list?
Now I find that if I let the screensaver and then power management kick in, when I try to wake the computer up again, I get a very brief text screen that says something about starting the disks but it's too quick to read, and then nothing. I can't Ctrl-Alt-F1 and my only option is to reboot via the power switch. The pm-suspend.log shows that the computer did wake up OK.
