As I get older I suffer from memory blanks. On a laptop how to you wake
the machine up after a hibernate or a suspend? I thought I knew but I

Mine wakes up when i press the power button
or when the laptop lid is opened.
I have an IBM Thinkpad T43p.
Was this the right answer? :-D
On my T41 with FC < 6, waking from suspend with the power button would
cause the machine to wake up and immediately shut down 8^(. I got in the
habit of waking up by pressing the Fn key, but I think any key will work.
More recent versions of gnome-power-manager may be better about this--I
haven't tried recently. Opening the lid should work too, if you closed
it.
For hibernation, the power button is the way to go (but I haven't gotten
mine to wake reliably without hanging, so I don't do that too often...).
