I installed Linux on it but it would not suspend. It would always hang with the hard drive light on, as well as other leds and the power light. Searching the web, I found this link: http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug That talks about adding a script found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10359462&postcount=47 I added the script and sure enough, my suspend and even resume now work. Before using this script, I've tried this on latest Debian testing and with the latest Linus kernel (as of last night), and it didn't work. But with this script, it works there and also with Debian stable and 3.0.10 kernel. (I hate gnome3 and lack of gnome2 so I created a separate partition to run Debian testing, but I'm back to Debian stable). The reason I'm writing you is, can we fix this without needing this script? Is there a modification to pm-suspend, or something that can handle these laptops? It just seems crazy to have everyday users add this script. Thanks, -- Steve
