Nope, and I usually do at least one hibernate/resume cycle per day when
carrying the machine home from the office.

No. At least I haven't configured anything to do so. I'll attach my
/etc/rc.config.d/apmd.rc.config file, so you may compare the APM
options. (I have no /etc/sysconfig/apm* files; presumably because the
locations of the files differ from distribution to distribution.)

I would say so, as the apmd process runs with that very option which
should manage these activities:

root@altmark: /root (24) # ps -ef | grep apm | grep -v grep
root       161     1  0 06:57 ?        00:00:01 /usr/sbin/apmd -w 10 -P
/usr/sbin/apmd_proxy

root@altmark: /root (25) # grep APM /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_APM=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y

SuSE 7.1 with 2.2.18 (compiled from SuSE modified kernel sources)

No problem - hope it helps!
