[ltp] Suspending on an A21m

[Tod Harter]

Hmmm, I've heard that XFree 4.1.0 doesn't like to resume. Not sure how true 
that is, but I can tell you that with kernel 2.4.9 and XFree 4.0.3 there is 
no problem with suspending or resuming while in X. However, if you set up 
KDE's laptop power configuration panel to put your machine in 'standby' 
(whatever that is...) then X becomes trashed on resume. I've never bothered 
to even try to get hibernation working. Personally don't see THAT much use 
for it. My machine will run for at least a day in suspend mode, and all I 
really do is haul it back and forth to work. I'm pretty sure flipping the lid 
down is exactly equivalent to fn F4. The only flakiness I see is that if the 
system is in suspend long enough then you have to hit Fn F4 again to get it 
to wake up, but if the suspend state lasts less than around 20 mins then just 
jiggling the trackpoint works. Strange but not a real problem.
