What you want is S3 sleep. I don't thing that echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep works anymore, I think that that is the deprecated implementation. I'm not sure which is the right way to initiate the other option, either echo mem > /sys/power/state or echo standby > /sys/power/state It doesn't work on all machines though so your millage may vary here. > > > > Maybe you want to have a look at this: > > > > http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/ > > > > ->HS > > > > > > Anyone with experience of using this vs. the 2.6 native option? > I never used the 2.6 native option (didn't work when I tried around 2.6.6 and I haven't tried since), only this one, which also works for 2.4 kernels. Its usually very stable, although a bit dynamic so it comes and goes for some people. It does have a lot more features then the 2.6 native option. Some main ones are initrd support (it can be compiled as a module), compression of the image (lzf and gzip), using encrypted swap (Takes a bit of work to get working at the moment) and quite a few more. I also supports swap files. There is talk for quite some time now about including it into the stock kernel but it will probably take a bit more time. Now it also supports saving the image but then going into S3 sleep so wake is fast but no data is lost if the battery runs out. > H. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
