Hi all,
I've been working with Gentoo amd64 on my t60 with merom 1.66Ghz. Same basic behavior with 2.6.19-rc6 and the 2.6.19ck sources. One complication is the 8.32.5 ati driver I'm using to get the full 1400x1050 resolution and use-able graphics. I can suspend and resume once from the gnome 2.16 suspend in the gnome-power-manager applet. Beautiful, I hit the fn key, it comes up, and everything is back as iI left it, except no network, so I rmmod/modprobe ath_pci and restart networking and all is well. If I try to do exactly the same thing again I get a massive several pages call trace and errors, but the system is still there. I alt-function to a console, and I can log in fine. Usually if I then alt-f7, there's my gnome session, either just blacked out and prompting for login as if it had been suspended (or even if it had failed suspend). When I log out of the session from the logout button, gdm crashes and cannot be restarted. I can still get to a console and attempt reboot. If I
 do it soon enough it reboots ok, other times it starts to reboot and then becomes unresponsive, requiring a hard power off. I wrote down some of the error info from the initial xserver seeming crash, which I can type in by hand if necessary. But right now I'm trying to just see what is supposed to be going on. 
during such a suspend. I've tried this without fixing the network before trying suspend again. I've also tried it with the not so great vesa driver and suspend doesn't succeed at all, just fails suspend and pops up the gnome xlock dialog. I love this machine but am starting to feel some regrets about this proprietary driver, because no open source devs can offer much help even if they wanted to. And ati/amd basically only gather complaints and comments and don't do customer service for linux. Has anyone gotten a t60 running amd64 to suspend and resume reliably? 
Any info welcome.
Thanks,
Jim
