That's not completely true. I have a Compaq Presario 1700, ACPI only.
I dual-boot between Win 98 and Debian potato. I'm still running a
2.2.* kernel so I don't have ACPI support in Linux, although I of
course do in Windows.
OK, I stood prepared to be corrected there. My Dell Inspiron 2500
certainly doesn't do it in the BIOS - though I haven't figured out _how_
it does it in Windows (not the same way as others have reported...)
Surprisingly, suspend-to-disk mostly works for me under Linux, with
two minor exceptions:
1. I have to be out at the console when I hit the key. If I'm in X,
the box hangs. I can be running X, just need to Ctrl-Alt-F* to a
console window first.
2. It doesn't reset the time when it starts back up. I've gotten
into the habit of running "hwclock --hctosys" as soon as I
restart.
I have that same problem with S1 state. I really need to put the
hwclock invocation into acpid
Other than that, suspend-to-disk works great. Now if I could only
tell how much battery life I have left... :-)
I haven't tried the ACPI 0329 patch yet, but the previous one can't even
insmod acpi_battery, so I have the same problem.
