I had this working on a Dell Inspiron 4150, but it turned out to be much slower than just rebooting the thing (about 60 seconds for reading/writing = it all to disk vs about 30 seconds for booting). I needed to get a Dell utility from the website (S2D.EXE iirc) and create a suspend to disk partition *as the first partition on the disk*. And of course, resuming within X was not really supported because some thin= gs like the display failed to properly reinitialize, just like with S3. In the end I decided to dedicate the space to something else. It wasn't wor= th it IMHO. An OS-based S4 might turn out to be much more useful. --Stijn --=20 "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure." --M38YqGLZlgb6RLPS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFABOjTY3r/tLQmfWcRAqRXAJ9ETCtevhXJxEV3znu1smYkSbyUvQCfZbuw 4XKfLjlqq7k6HOAqe12x13I= =EPZT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --M38YqGLZlgb6RLPS--
