Are you just refering to the '-r' option in the s2ram? I tried 's2ram -r -f' and I get much better power usage when its suspended. I tested it in windows and it uses about 1% every 10 minutes. Without the '-r' option in linux I burn 1% of the battery every minute and with the '-r' I get 1%/5 min which is much better even if its still twice as much as winblows. Is there some other thing I should be looking at or were you just referring to '-r'. Does anyone know how to enable the '-r' option from powersave in SuSE 10.1? The config files in /etc/powersave/ don't have any option for this and I don't know where powersave is calling s2ram so I can't just edit the call to include '-r'. I thought powersave might just call it in a bash script but s2ram doesn't appear in /usr/lib/powersave/scripts so maybe its just invoked from the powersave binary itself.
