I had this working on a Dell Inspiron 4150, but it turned out to be much slower than just rebooting the thing (about 60 seconds for reading/writing it all to disk vs about 30 seconds for booting). I needed to get a Dell utility from the website (S2D.EXE iirc) and create a suspend to disk partition *as the first partition on the disk*. And of course, resuming within X was not really supported because some things like the display failed to properly reinitialize, just like with S3. In the end I decided to dedicate the space to something else. It wasn't worth it IMHO. An OS-based S4 might turn out to be much more useful. --Stijn -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
