Noticed on battery power kapm-idled runs at about 50% on startup. Even if NFS file systems are umounted suspend takes up to 2 minutes. (If NFS file systems are never mounted suspends are quick) If you are a thinkpad user it's still probably best to use one of the X configurations as posted on the web. The default configuration though workable seems to have issues upon suspend/resume. Strange things like not being able to su etc. X Server randomly restarting and otherwise getting into a 'strange' sense. After resuming the system sound server complains about CPU overload. (Though still better on a laptop than 8.0...) -randy
