Re: [gentoo-user] tuxonice and suspend-to-ram
Hi Stephan, Frankly, I don't think it would bring anything to you, except maybe the possibility to cancel a suspension on the fly and maybe some check when coming from suspension. I'm using tuxonice only for the suspend to disk, but even there, the kernel has some builtin features that would be sufficient for me (I'm lazy, I don't want to try ;-)). tuxonice is mainly some wrapping scripts that makes the suspension more feature full than the bare kernel provided but in the end, they still use what the kernel provides. In your case, I don't think it's mandatory to use tuxonice. HTH, Greg On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 10:04 AM, Stefan G.

Pls note that I only use S2R, and never suspend to disk all the disk-related features of tuxonice aren't important to me. Thanks for your opinions, Stefan

But what are the extras in S2R-context? What do I miss? But: as long as I don't know, I don't miss ;-) And as I don't miss anything, it seems sufficient for me Most of the features listed on the project-site belongs to suspend-to-disk, so I just give the plain kernel a try again.
