Starting with 2.6.21-mm2, I'm seeing occassional failures to resume
from suspend-to-ram on my Thinkpad R51. The screen will flash as it
usually does, then go black and the machine will become totally
unresponsive, even to holding down the power button for 30+ seconds.
But the hard drive light will

2.6.22-rc2 works. CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED = y, though that shouldn't
matter. Bringing up the interface manually still works, so I suspect
this is sysfs or HAL related again. Again, Debian unstable so
userspace is quite up-to-date.

First off, let me say that I think your approach has great promise,
but I'm afraid it doesn't work so well here yet.
Box is an R51 Thinkpad, 1.7GHz Pentium M. I'm using a make -j 5 as a
test load.
With 2.6.21-rc2-mm2, I get slightly sluggish response for opening new
terminals, scrolling in Galeon
