ACPI Suspend support

ACPI Suspend support

[Gertjan]

Hi all,

I was wondering if suspend support for ACPI is already implemented. Which
kernel must I use if I want my laptop to support suspending. My laptop is
an ASUS L3400D with a SiS chip set in it. It has no support for APM so I
really would like to have support for suspend-to-RAM. Can somebody tell me
what versions to use, or if it is still unsupported.

Please correct me if I am asking this question in the wrong mailing-list.
The reason I am posting it here is that I am inquiring the stage of
development...

Regards,

Gertjan

take one of the recent 2.5.x kernels if you really need it. but i cannot
say if it will work for your laptop. :)

with kernel 2.4.x you maybe can have standby (S1) with the acpi-patch
and suspend-to-disk (S4) with the swsusp-patch
(http://fchabaud.free.fr/English/default.php3?COUNT=3&FILE0=Tricks&FILE1=Laptop&FILE2=Swsusp). but no suspend-to-ram (S3) as far as i know.

that is okay, acpi4linux is still under heavy development, so the border
between devel and user is very thin (though i would have posted it in
acpi-support).

cheers,
 sebastian

I'm thinking of going to the 2.5 kernels to get the ACPI S3 support, but 
I'm having trouble with devfs, which seems to be not quite working in 
the 2.5 series from my reading of kernel-devel.  Has this been resolved? 
 Anyone out there using devfs in a 2.5 kernel?

I do. No particular problems with devfs, but unfortunately, lots of other.
