Just use "powersave -u" or "pm-suspend". Sorry, your usecase is not the one demanded by 99% of our audience. I also first develop stuff that is of use for me, then i think about the others, that's quite natural, but watching this whitelist stuff get more and more tricky over time, i don't think it is a good idea to work actively against the HAL and desktop developers. > > Well, whole s2ram is about not fixing it where it should be fixed.

Your X60 will behave pretty badly with a recent intel X server, if you suspend it with VBE_POST|VBE_SAVE (it is not the listed combination for that machine, but it should be a pretty harmless one). This is why i switched many entries to VBE_POST|VBE_MODE, which is apparently frienldier to the intel X server. Baseline is: i won't implement PCI id matching. pm-utils already use HAL (the upstream code even does not use s2ram at all, they use vbetool etc. standalone, so i have to patch in s2ram support, but i have an evil plan to finally achieve world domination that might change that soon) and i will probably too in the near future (just using s2ram with the command line options and skipping the whitelist). -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
