I have a Toshiba 700CT with RH 5.2 Linux 2.0.36 krnl.
I can usually suspend nightly and unsuspend in the AM, but
today, I pulled a stupid trick -- I plugged my external mouse in
the keyboard port and my external keyboard in the mouse port.
When I woke the laptop up, all was FUBAR. I resuspended, fixed
the cables, and woke it up again, but only the external keyboard
worked. Suspends, and trial and error got me nowhere and I
had to do a cold reboot (shutdown and hard reset).
This appears to be a bios problem? One other time in the
last 6 months, I unsuspended and my internal trackpoint mouse
was dead. After several restarts of X, and some other tricks,
I still could not get it to work. A cold boot into W95 still did not
fix it. To fix it, it took a shutdown and cold boot.
Has anyone seen similar bios suspend problems with Toshiba
laptops? I am getting a new 8000 (PII/300) and hope it does
not have such a problem....
Cheers,
