Hi all,

finally got my own laptop (a Toshiba M35X-S161, btw)
and wanted to share some things about Foresight installation on it...

1) group-laptop-tools is great; it recognized the onboard Atheros
chipset, no more fiddling with madwifi compiling :)
2) Why gnome-power-manager and nm-applet isn't installed by default on
user's session? If group-laptop-tools is installed, they should be
added to user's session.
3) Suspend and hibernate (from gnome-power-manager's menu or closing
the lid) doesn't work:
  - I suspend and the laptop doesn't come back
  - I hibernate and in the next reboot it does the full
initialization, instead of picking up the hibernated system

I'm creating a page about the laptop (Foresight biased, sure) at
http://www.zyakannazio.eti.br/wiki/index.php?n=Main.LinuxOnAToshibaSatelliteM35X-S161

On other news, there's a bizarre bug (already reported on the Forum)
that, on my experience, happens on systems with nVidia videocards:

When Foresight boots, after the hotplug invocation, the screen blanks,
and when comes back show spaced stuff (like h t l g instead of
hotplug), and the system freezes.
