Hi Florian, thanks for getting back to this. > Do you have the packages "hibernate" and "vbetool" installed?

Well, it did need a custom kernel for sarge many moons back, but that's ancient history - and I don't wish to go there again. hibernate isn't installed, although vbetool is, but what I have been using to circumvent the problem is uswsusp. This package hibernates very quickly - via s2disk - and restores almost as fast, so it's the best I currently have. I'll check out the xhacks idea at the w/e. Thanks. -- Cheers, Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
