[SLUG] Linux,Laptops and Suspension


Hi all,

I was wondering what people would recommend in terms of having suspend
functionality on a laptop under linux ?

I've got ACPI running so the battery meter works, but suspend does not
work according to the ACPI doc's.

I'm running 2.4.26, and I found SWSUS, which claims to do suspending
but requires patching the kernel (not really a problem just a pain as
the laptop is a little slow, so I would prefer not to do it unless it
is known to be a good option).

What do other people use ?
