Once build 101 is available you will have a pleasant experience with suspend/resume (if it works at all on your specific laptop). Even on build 100a you may possibly have a good experience. To turn S/R on, add this line to your /etc/power.conf file S3-support enable Then run (as root) /usr/sbin/pmconfig Though I found that I had to reboot before the Suspend button appeared on the Shutdown Window. Also I've once (earlier today) had a case where everything worked after resuming, except for the mouse finger-pad. I could still swithc windows with alt-tab, etc, and I suspect this to be a bug related to the fact that I unplugged my external mouse _while_ suspending, and did not plug it back in after resuming. -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
