We will know after the next openSUSE alpha release, where i will have unleashed that patch onto the unexpecting guinea pigs^W^WopenSUSE users ;-) If i don't get a wave of bugreports, than i'll assume that it is safe. Theoretically we could "protect" it by another quirk-flag, but i'd rather try to avoid that. I will also go through the kernel code and check if anything can go wrong. Echoing "1" into the state file simply makes the text console "freeze" (but apparently it is still doing stuff in the background, you can still output text etc, you just won't see it). Echoing "0" will make it paint the current screen contents. At least that was what happened in my experiments. > (2) it fixes at least one box that currently doesn't work Yes, the user in the bugreport is a happy camper now :-) (he does not have the s2ram code right now, but uses the script equivalent, but unless i have put a bug into the C code, it should be equivalent). -- Stefan Seyfried QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | "Any ideas, John?"
