To enable the apm suspend-to-disk function (Fn+A), you need to prepare a special partition on your hard disk using a (Windows-only, IIRC) utility available from Dell. Look for "suspend to disk" in the Dell Knowledge Base for more information. > I've updated to the latest BIOS file in the hope Dell had got this > sorted by now. I have this set up on my C610 and it suspends and resumes OK, except that X is frozen on restart. Console mode works fine. There are a couple of issues I have with the C610 BIOS (that one and the fact that the fan comes on full-speed after resume), but Dell shows no interest in supporting APM or Linux on these things for individual customers (they only ship with ACPI Windows OSs these days). The "frozen X on STD resume" is in Bugzilla (#64782) in the hope that Red Hat might have some more leverage than I do. Haven't filed the fan one yet. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
