Hi! In good old days of Pentium MMX, when ACPI was not yet born and APM ruled the world, I had and thinkpad 560X notebook. And that beast supported suspend-to-both: It stored image on disk, but then suspended to RAM, anyway. I think I want that feature back. [Advantage was, that suspend/resume was reasonably fast for common case, yet you did not loose your opened applications if your battery ran flat. Speed advantage will be even greater these days -- boot of "resume" kernel takes most of time.] Unfortunately, suspend-to-RAM is not in quite good state these days. It tends to work -- after you setup your video drivers according to video.txt, with some scripting needed. Unfortunately, after we suspended to disk, system is frozen -- we may not run scripts. I guess the solution is to create userland application that will parse the DMI, look into table, and if it is neccessary do the vbe saving/restoring itself. (We may not run external binaries on frozen system; everything has to be pagelocked.) I guess that will include quite a lot of cut-copy-and-paste from various project, but I see no other way :-(. OTOH this should get us to state where suspend-to-RAM "just works", so I guess it is worth it. Pavel -- Thanks, Sharp!
