I understand that, however the issue isn't that Steam doesn't work, but that some FPS-type games are too laggy to be usable, i.e. the problem is performance rather than function. I may look into it at some point but for now I've just settled on using suspend instead of hibernate, and that works fine. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
