swsusp (suspend) finally works..
January 4th, 2005 stevel
ahh…finally. I installed Kevin’s FC3 patched kernel RPMs with software suspend, and I can finally suspend my Inspiron 700m. woohoo!
so now i believe everything on my laptop works as it should aside from the SD card reader, which is a minor shame - but not a huge deal since my digital camera uses smartmedia anyway.
yay. i just suspended in the middle of writing this blog, resumed, and my wireless connection reconnected automatically
yes, i know all you normal laptop readers out there (yes i’m talking to you Geoff, and your slick little piece of work Powerbook) are probably laughing at me since you all have been suspending since day 1. but this is a big deal to a linux laptop user like me.

Hey, spare a thought for us poor Solaris laptop users (power management ? - I’m dreaming of power management !) Wifi support is getting better though, and my usb smartcard reader works just fine on Solaris. There’s an sd-card reader built into this laptop, but haven’t got any sd-cards to test it with though : I’m optimistic though…
