 |
|
Wouldn't it be a good idea to include software support for suspending (similar to hibernating/suspending-to-disk under windows)? This is one of the few features that I really miss in Linux. I found something that claims to do so (even for workstations) at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/swsusp (this is more current than the link below)
http://falcon.sch.bme.hu/~seasons/linux/swsusp.html
It might be interesting if it actually works if it can be integrated into Gentoo's kernel sources. |

IIRC swsusp was removed from gentoo-sources because of problems with acpi patches (I can't find where I've read it though).

acpi in getoo is a very old patch which isn't working well, can't we have suspend to disk and drop acpi?

Acutally swpsusp would be fine for testing 2.5.25 (currently). 2.5 has suspend2disk integrated in the kernel

thanks, I am running it now, with kernel built-in pcmcia and sound (no more pcmcia-cs drv and alsa), acpi and swsusp, all working nicely together.

which kernel? any special configuration for acpi? where did you get swpsusp from? (a lof of questions, I would like to have it working but i do not need it, so I didn't spend too much time on it honestly)
PS: I think little how-to in "Tips & Tricks" or "Laptops" would be appreciated by many users!

I use it on my thinkpad (T20) to dual-boot windows and Debian. However, my USB mouse and my soundcard don't get along with swsusp so well, and my clock is also very late after resuming from suspend-to-disk...
However, I'm using a pretty oldish patchm haven't tried the latest one...
