Is this a BIOS problem?
I know very little about suspend-to-ram, but a possibility is maybe there's something with X. Can you get to another tty (Ctrl-Alt-F2)? It may also be something like xscreensaver set to a screensaver that doesn't run well. > > PS. What's the difference between Standby and Suspend to RAM? Standby just turns off the screen and spins down the disks. It may or may not turn off some hardware like the net card. Ram is still powered and the machine is still on. Suspend to RAM as I understand it is much deeper, ram and cpu are just about all that is powered up. PaulNM -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
