There are plenty of reports like this in bugzilla.redhat.com. My
opinion is that FC6 should not be released as final until the problem
is addressed. What do you think?
I would like to start testing suspend/resume in Rawhide but I have to
confess that I am at the very beginning. I've discerned from googling
that it is still pretty much a script based feature, i.e. one must write
scripts to have your laptop suspend or hibernate and then associate
those scripts with events. This is somewhat shocking to me. I expected
that a distro would automagically configure a system to DTRT from the
getgo. At least do something like what XP does. Au contraire
apparently. Is there any reference material available to read so that I
might be a little more intelligent and helpful in testing suspend/resume
functionality?
And to address Paul's question, FWIW: it doesn't much matter to me when
good laptop support is in FC, just that it gets in and stays in. It
certainly does appear to be long overdue functionality.
Thanks,
