I don't know whats going on now with swsusp under 2.6, last time I looked in the kernel mailing list there was a lot of shouting about the changes and where /proc/acpi/sleep went. However under 2.4 its already working quite nicely. some people do get some trouble at times, but its quite stable. I suspend and resume several dozen times without problems, by that time I usually switch kernel again so ... I just got dri+mach64 to work with so I am happy. The problem is still with suspend to ram which I don't expect to work any time soon, and is not related to swsusp but to acpi. > > -- > TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ > Animals who are not penguins can only wish they were. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
