The PATA drive on the T43p is also an issue for S3 suspending, because
it doesn't support suspend. Watch out. I hacked the SCSI driver a
while ago and added the suspend functions, but have since lost that in
version hell. It doesn't matter anyway, because I could not get the
fglrx driver to suspend either, even with the vbetool.
I will be trying again when I have more free time....
