See "S3: high power consumption - Thinkpad T40/T41" http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022 They have a patch that applies to the mainline kernel and fixes the problem. It is a video problem. If the patch doesn't work immediatly for you, you might have to add video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1 to the kernel command line and then add your machine's dmi data to the whitelist. The whitelist is pretty big by now, though, so you may already be covered. --Vernon > > It's actually more or less a guess since I have not looked actually to > the suspend2 code. > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
