Thank you very much, Frédérick and Benjamin. I knew about swsusp, but hadn't check the project status in a long while. Could you say, more or less, how fast is it? I mean average suspend/resume times on your machines.

Curiously enough, the first mail I got from the list was from one SATOH Fumiyasu, about some patches for swsusp+XFS. The interesting part is that Mr. Fumiyasu said the patch works on this setup: > Tested on: > DELL Latitude X200 > Debian GNU/Linux unstable(sid) > Linux kernel 2.4.20 (Debian kernel-source-2.4.20 + > linux-2.4.20/drivers/acpi tree for ACPI > patch :) > XFS 1.2pre4 patch (Debian kernel-patch-xfs 1.2pre4-1) > ACPI patch 20021212 > swsusp b18 patch for Linux 2.4.20 + ACPI20021212 Looks like the thing does work on the Debian kernel-source. I didn't want to ask there --just subscribed, too soon for me to post on that list... But I'll post here my results, when I have time to try it. -CR
