As a test I suspened the machine twice; each time the machine was off 
for approximately 5 minutes. It resumed twice without any problems (into 
X with a mozilla and xmms)
As another test, I opned up a few apps in different workspaces: abiword 
with a document, mozilla browser and mail, xmms playing an internet 
stream. I then suspended in hopes of resuming the next day after school. 
After about 14hrs I tried to resume, and everything seemed fine, excpet 
my USB mouse was unrespnsive. I was able to brinx X down into a working 
console, startx again, but still no mouse.

In debian kernel 2.6.3 I have the NIC and USB options compiled in. 
Should these be modules that are removed before swsusp?
There's aslo mention of a swsusp script, but was unable to find one in 
../Documentation/power or via apt-cache search; I'm assuming that I need 
this script, which will remove the modules before swsusp and modprobe 
them after resume.

Thank you for your time and patience.
