Hi all,
Does anyone have good experiences with recent motherboards in terms of
reliable suspend-to-ram from a full desktop environment?
Specifically, this machine will be a debian lenny with a dual-head
desktop, firefox connected to gmail and misc other "flashy" (including
running flash) and javascript-laden websites, running openoffice, some
nfs mounts, the gimp, and random other process load. (This is to
replace my wife's computer, which is currently running 24/7 just
because shutdowns lose too much context.)
So, with everything and the kitchen sink running, I would like to be
able to put it to sleep and wakeup hundreds of times without a hiccup
and with minimal delay.
Solid suspend-to-disk support would be a bonus, but what I really want
is fast and reliable S3.
This information seems to be hard to find, and the motherboards which
I've gotten in the past will seem to work and then flake-out under
real-world (aka "wife-supplied entropy") conditions. The nvidia driver
might be at fault, but it doesn't matter who's fault it is -- it just
needs to work every time.
Thanks,
Eric
