What's resume=force? Regarding the hang problems, I wrote: > (2) Hangups: With the Latitude, it is possible to switch from a VC to > the BIOS control screen and back.

Now it seems that the BIOS screen swith works (even without the above kernel parameters). That may be due to a BIOS upgrade or something else, or I might just have misdiagnosed the problem. The suspend-to-disk problem remains. In fact, it seems that there is no keyboard, mouse buttons, or cursor after resume from suspend-to-disk, and things like performance meters don't update either. That's so ith or without the kernel parameters above. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
