AFAIK there are still some issues with suspend-to-ram with the Dell (and I never liked the way they wrote their ASL, but it's more a style issue ;) On the other hand, I don't remember if the IBM R51 do have the same kind of issue with suspend-to-ram, though I'm pretty sure suspending to ram work for almost IBM thinkpads under FreeBSD. -- Bruno Ducrot -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know.
