Subject: Hibernate & suspend on Win98SE

Hi

I've been attempting to get my 110CT (UK model, 64Mb, 4.3Gb HD, etc) to
hibernate and suspend correctly in Win98SE.  After three fresh installs of
Toshiba's product recovery CD (stop laughing you Linux people) I've managed
to get it to work.  First thing I installed Win98 from the product recovery
CD, then installed the Win98SE update CD. Still didn't work.  Then I found
this on the Micro$oft support site:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q187/2/85.ASP

This basically says "This behavior (suspend not working) can occur if you
are using a NeoMagic 128XD video driver. This video driver is not supported
in Windows 98."
I found that the driver supplied on the Win98 product recovery CD is FAULTY.
I didn't have much luck with the display driver from Toshiba Canada either,
nor the one on the Win98SE CD.  The Toshiba USA one appeared to work better
with suspend / resume / hibernation.

Then I found on Micro$ofts site a file called "4756us8.exe".  This appears
to be the "Windows 98SE ACPI update".  After installing the new display
driver, then installing this fix, my 110CT now suspends and resumes and
hibernates and whatever else it can do with the IR monitor working, a
network card installed, a 56k modem, both docked and undocked, etc,etc.
Basically, it works.

I bet someone will say something different about what drivers I found that
worked for my Libby but hey thats life...
