Hi, 

I have had a T42p now for just a few weeks, and I am experiencing problems 
with swsusp hanging on suspend. I think the problem occurs when swsusp 
switches to another vt, because I can cause a similar hang sometimes just by 
switch to VT 1 using Cntl-Alt F1. 

I had the very same symptoms with a Dell C800 with ATI graphics and it was 
enough to comment out lines in the XF86Config that referenced DRI. In my 
current xorg.config file (I'm using SuSE 9.2 now) the only thing mentioning 
DRI is:

#Section "DRI"
#    Group      "video"
#    Mode       0660
#EndSection

But commenting that out hasn't been sufficient. Does that disable DRI? Is 
there more to it? It sounds like this group is well aware of the problem but 
googling didn't produce anything particular to this laptop.

The FAQ on DRI on sourceforge has an entry just on the DRI VT switching 
problem however:
http://dri.sourceforge.net/old/faq/faq_display.phtml?id=48

Does this group have more specific advice. I'm kind of lost with the 
discussion provided in the DRI FAQ.
