With 2.6.20-rc4, the system seems to suspend to ram fine. The power led "oozes" on and off. When powering it back up, however, the LCD still doesn't come up. The console keyboard works, however, and I'm able to pass commands through. I'd be curious to know if there would be a hack to reset the display at this point... reboot(8) doesn't bring back the display, so, again, this is very probably a BIOS issue from Toshiba...
Suspend to disk works even better: it goes through the suspend cycle and shuts down cleanly. When rebooting, my console comes back properly. Everything also seems to work properly at first sight in X11. Things are mostly the same in 2.6.19-4 so I guess I'll start using that... I didn't know about kernel-archive.buildserver.net, I'm glad you pointed out this resource to me, very interesting... So I guess the bottom line is: suspend to disk works in 2.6.19-1-686. suspend to ram works a bit better, but not quite there. That's enough for my needs, thanks!! A. PS: would this package make it to etch then? I guess that the answer is "no", but asking doesn't hurt... :)
