Is "pm-utils" [mentioned below] meant to be a literal command? I have no such command [openSUSE 11.4 x86_64]. I have "pm-is-supported", both "pm-is-supported --hibernate" and "pm-is-supported --suspend" produce no output and have an exit status of zero (which according to the man page means "State available". Suspend worked perfectly for this laptop with GNOME 2.32; after the update suspend/resume is lethal. System resumes to a black screen with a pointer and usually, but not always, some artifact of a window in the center of the screen. Ctrl-Alt-F1 will take me to a console where I can kill X and log in again. I've also walked away from the machine and come back, twice, to find a black screen with nothing but a pointer with even Ctrl-Alt-F1 not working. But while I'm using it GNOME 3 has been fast and stable; I just can't turn my back on it. In System Settings / Power I've unchecked both "On AC Power" and "On Battery" suspend options. nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 230M] (rev a2) NVIDIA GPU GeForce GT 230M (GT216) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0) 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop > On Sun, May 1, 2011 at 11:25 PM, Allan E.
