Meet me; sitting here right now with the X200 lid closed, backlight off, idling but 'working' via ssh. Laptops running as (mostly) headless servers would normally run with lid down - been doing this for years, keeps the cockroaches out, mostly :) Anyway, this would be a very poor default on any machine that didn't resume completely well every time. 'Seems to work well enough' on a still fairly limited range of laptops, I gather. I've yet to get this X200 (on stable/9) to suspend without losing USB - after the _second_ suspend, unlike yours - and besides it's not a big deal to set it to S3 when desired. Maybe an rc.conf knob like 'suspend_on_lid="YES"' ono rather than requiring sysctl.conf setting? > * Save chip bugs that we should add workarounds for, we should be OK > to enter lower sleep states when idling.

An Nate Lawson said often many years ago, we really need some sort of profile mechanism to describe as a package different ACPI and power settings for different brands / models / usage cases, plugins if you like; then 'resumes_reliably' could condition stuff.
