That'd rock. It's a very important thing nowadays.

Hmm. Do I have to be a *new* person to ask, or can I just keep
asking until you give in? ;)

Oi! I'll give you five (US) dollars. Is that near enough? :)

Actually, in all seriousness, is there some sort of tips place
to give you money to fund the project? Although I don't have
much time (working on yet another cpu governor, amongst other
things), I can not eat at a restauraunt for lunch a couple of
times and send the money your way. :)

Ah. Thankye.

A few last questions while I'm at it. (I'm struggling to get it to work
with my new Dell Inspiron 8600.) Is it alright to have the different
swsus/pmdisk versions enabled in the same kernel? Finally, is there
any specific way to create the swap space for saving the state to?
I created a swap partition (/dev/hda8 fwiw), made it type 82 and
ran mkswap on it. However, after I tried to suspend, it didn't
recognize the saved data.
