We can only enable-by-default by listing specific models in the "white list" file ppm.conf. In order to do that, all the device drivers, bios, acpi, etc of the specific laptop had to be working and not crash on resume. Suspend is easy, it's coming back alive that is tough :-) We also had a VERY small team of people and little time to test all these fixes. That translated into a small group of machines for the first cycle of getting this all to work. Most of the machines listed happen to be from vendors that are working directly with us for technical, engineering, and bios collaboration. A few of the others just happened to be in our lab testing pool. There was such a huge amount of work to do for the foundation and generic bits of suspend-to-ram to get that stable by build 100 of Nevada, we could only fit in a small number of laptops for the first start. I expect that after release of 2008.11 OpenSolaris, when we get community feedback, informal testing reports, and more bug fixes done, we should be able to really expand that list.
