[ltp] Suspend on T40, 2.6.0-test8

[Jordan Benjamin]

So, I just tried switching to vesafb. Still no luck. Closing the lid 
turns off the backlight and blanks the screen, while apm -s only blanks 
the screen. In neither case does the machine actually suspend. I've 
tried both in the console and in X. In the console the machine does 
actually come back from this, while in X the screen stays blank until I 
restart remotely. I kind of think maybe apm is crashing, since it 
stayed running until I killed it the last time I tried this. 

It kind of sounds like everyone who's gotten this to work is using 
Debian or Redhat...maybe that has something to do with it. 

If your machine is suspending properly now, would you mind sending me 
your kernel .config and dmesg output? Also, what does your /proc/apm 
say?

Thanks,
Jordan
