Bob and the rest of the list:

I built a kernel based upon Volker Braun's fantastic work (thank you 
Volker) which incorporates Software Suspend 2.1.6 and 2.6.11-rc3.  After 
pounding my head against the wall, I found that there must be some sort 
of bug in Rage 128 support, or the Rage M3 mobility in my A22p REQUIRES 
radeon support when building video into the kernel.  If I build modules 
(which will not suspend without X going berserk and processor locking my 
system), lsmod shows r128 as one of the loaded modules.

So, here is the output of dmidecode for my A22p:

System Information
                 Manufacturer: IBM
                 Product Name: 2629Y1U
                 Version: Not Available

As you can see, it is not a standard 2629-Uxx (A22p).  It is possible 
that the video system was upgraded before I bought this system, but 
highly unlikely.

Anyway, what is the status of the radeon patch to control power.
