[ltp] Perfect timing!! ( ..hibernate/restore problems with recent distros )

[Mark Altern]

I understand your frustration with this suspend/hibernate problem. I got 
it working perfectly on my T400 with intel graphic, with Ubuntu 10.10 
64. Of course, NOT with a vanilla install, but I updated the kernel to 
the 2.6.36, from here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/

In fact, besides suspend, there are quite a few other problems with 
10.10, including ibus taking 100% cpu, and emacs broken (Ispell doesn't 
work, etc), and so on. I solved those by adding the proper PPAs and 
upgrade to newer packages.

By the way, the graphic performance on the intel 4500 was hugely 
improved compared to 10.04. In the end, Ubuntu 10.10 (64) is polished 
and shinning as it was meant to be.

best.
