Yeah, that works too.  I mean, if you want it to be easy.  :)

I haven't had a single lockup going into or coming out of suspend using 
7.3.  Of course, YMMV, as mine is a 600E.  I could load 7.3 on my wife's 
380 and test it for you, but I like being married (Lesson 1: her laptop is 
her laptop, her desktop is her desktop.  All the other computer crap is 
mine).

Hitting Fn+F12 on my 600E produces a beep (low tone and short) regardless 
of whether or not I have a card in.  Then again, I don't have tpctl 
installed (won't compile - I think I'm missing some headers - RPM 
anyone?), so I'm relying on straight apmd for all of this.

All good questions that warrant further exploration.  I'll play around a 
bit and keep you posted.
