Re: Suspend locks up Toshiba Satelite L355-S7915 (no longer)

[Ken Corbin <kencx@peak.org>]

Too obvious.  And rumors of upgrade problems with 9.10 had me leary of jumping 
into it.  But I went ahead with the upgrade, had no significant issues.  And 
sure enough, that fixed my suspend problem.

There are other problems, but they are minor and can be lived with.  Most 
hotkeys do not work.  And the computer doesn't flash the power button when it 
is suspended.  There is a omnibook module that purports do do these 
functions, but it isn't coded to work with the Satelite L355-S7915.  I've 
been looking into fixing that.  But it has occurred to me that that driver is 
largely duplicating standard acpi functions.  And that it might be a better 
use of my time to look into configuring acpi to work with this laptop.  Any 
recommendations?

Thanks again,
-Ken
