W s4bios (the biosmode to suspend to the hibernation area) is gone in later kernels. AFAIK it should be possible to use suspend2 as swsusp(in kernel tree) isn't able to free the needed memory(RAM) if there's too little free. Anyway, it works if very little memory is used (plain X). suspend2 will try harder to get it freed, but I can't confirm: I just use STR as it saves power quite well for my need. YMMV. With a few tweaks to the in-kernel swsusp code it should be possible to tune this also. > ith powersave I can control > throttling, and see cpu, battery and temperature status.. Can you give my some information about your thermal sensor? What's exportet under /proc/acpi/thermal..? I can't get any (accurate) temperatures from my libretto. E.g. it get's read out with a reasonable value at boot once, but won't get updated. > Seems like I have to tune something for powersaved to work with > hibernation.. > I reached nowhere with "hibernate" and I removed it a few minutes > later to install powersaved .. hibernate is the debian script to use suspend2. $ apt-cache show hibernate To get suspend2 see [1] or archck at [2], there may/should be a debian package for this patch already in debian.
