[ltp] Suspend failing on T60

[Florian Reitmeir]

Hi,

just install the package:
hibernate

it will do the suspend for you.

Gnome Power Manager ist just a GUI, it notifies the HAL Daemon about your
wish to suspend.
And the HAL Daemon looks into your system how suspend could be done.
If the hibernate package is found, it will use it.. and suspend works.

And of course, if you use a ATI Card, there will be some troubles in resumi=
ng
=66rom suspend. So make sure that you use the latest driver.

If you really need some tweaks, look into the hibernation config files, it =
supports
nearly all tweaks you'll find from various people.
