[ltp] Z61p/Z61m experiences needed

[Stefan Armbruster]

Hi,

Suspend/Resume works fine on my Z61p (Core Duo, FireGL 5200) with the fglrx 
drivers. I just installed Kubuntu Edgy, added the packages
xorg-driver-fglrx
linux-restricted-modules-generic 
and changed xorg.conf to use the fglrx driver. 

For suspend/resume I've just added "ipw3945" to the list of modules 
in /etc/default/acpi-support. Suspend to RAM is associated the LID event, it 
works perfectly. I don't know about Suspend to Disk, since I'm not using it.

Regards,
Stefan
