I have an NEC Versa LX laptop, running RedHat 5.2 with kernel 2.2.9. APM
works, but to get suspend to disk to work, I have to first suspend,
unsuspend, and then suspend to disk (Fn + power). After I do this sequence
once, I am able to suspend to disk without suspending beforehand, until I
reboot. If I don't suspend first, the screen just blanks for a second, and
nothing else happens when I try to suspend to disk. This happens whether
or not apmd 2.4 is running. Under Windows 95, I don't have this problem
--- I am able to suspend to disk without suspending beforehand. So it
looks like it's a kernel problem, not an apmd problem (or the BIOS is
buggy and Windows 95 works around the problem somehow but linux doesn't).
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm going to try Stephen Rothwell's new
APM patch with kernel 2.2.10, to see if anything changes.
Thanks for any information.
-Ted
