    Guys,

            I hope this is clear enough for you guys.

    D600 Dell Laptop
    1.4G centrino
    512MB ram
    520MB swap
    14.1" radeon 9000
    FC2 + 2.6.7-mm2
    USB/network compiled as modules

    Now, bear in mind that I did _no_ fancy tweaking of any settings.

    I have S4 suspend (also known as swap suspend etc) working. S3 is still
    not working. Shutdown is OK, it just won't come back from the dead.

    I've set the screen to _blank_ when I close the lid.

    S4 Suspend is via the Fn+esc key combo

    I get it to work 98% of the time. The 1 time when I don't get it to work
    is when it complains of lack of swap. ( the recommended was RAM+30% and
    I didn't realise that.) and when it complains about MySQL not going
    down. (when I manually stop it, it's suspends OK)

    Everything is done via the acpid interface, and handled by a script.

    I've actually posted snippets of it in this list and I've sent out a
    couple of copies of it to numerous ppl on this list as well. (off-line
    of course)

    Bear in mind that swap suspend will take a couple of minutes depending
    on how much it has to write.

    Mmmkay...?
