I already imported the acpi-support whitelist into s2ram some weeks ago, when we switched to the whitelist.c array. The advantage of s2ram is, that you do not need vbetool, radeontool and what else is required since everything is integratd into s2ram. > How is s2ram packaged in SuSE? As separate package or part of powersave? It is in a separate package, "suspend", where the userspace suspend tools will be once we are past 10.1 and start using uswsusp. > Problem is again that suspend to RAM does not work on my system, therefore I > cannot test and integrate it that easily (and I would not like to push for > something I did not test that late in the process).

Powersave already has laptop-mode integrated, see /etc/powersave/disk, you can enable it in the schemes by setting DISK_STANDBY_MODE and DISK_ACOUSTIC. We are not enabling it per default since the power savings from disk spindown are just not worth it, but for everybody who wants to use it, it is already there. If there are features missing in the powersave "laptop-mode" that are present in the "original" implementation, just report them and i will be glad to implement them. > I also hope that all this power management efforts could be a bit more > aligned > as we can see the same/similar stuff is implemented on many places. Unfortunately it looks like there are just too different views about how stuff should be done. The "do everything through HAL"-fraction is louder than us, and they in fact seem to not like "too many features" which will make it hard to implement the current feature set via their methods. But we will try to at least be compatible to their (very limited) feature set where we can. -- Stefan Seyfried QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | "Any ideas, John?"
