willing to contribute - so laptops suspend better - but how?

[Valent Turkovic]

Hi,
can you please look at the issue I'm having.

I would like to help troubleshoot my laptop and then other 10 I have
access to but I can't find how to do that.

Is there any wiki page or some other resource that I can use? Or can
you look at this one and give me some specific pointers?

I posted a bug for fedora 7 but I can't suspend this laptop also with
Fedora Core 6 or Ubuntu Feisty - it can only suspend and resume under
OpenSuse when I use additional options for s2ram as I wrote in my bug
report - please read it and add your precious knowledge about this
subject.

the link for the bug is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240964

Thank you very much in advance.

Valent from Croatia.

Been there, done that - no honey :)

Does fedora community have some more resourceful page regarding
suspend/resume on laptops?

When I had the same issue with the same laptop I was blown away with
OpenSuse page - http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram - they hit nail on the
head with their wiki page IMHO.

Fedora needs more online resources - quirks page is not sufficient.

Don't know if this is of any help as I'm trying to get my touch pad working my 
note book is a similar model.

I must say Fedora 7 test 4 works just great in other respects on my
laptop - seams you have much more problems. Ok, my wireless iwl3945
doesn't work (I filed a bug also for that) but I can make it work with
few commands... but suspend/resume I can't make to work no matter what
I try.

Ok, it seams I have some bios problem issues!

I wen't back to OpenSuse 10.2 in which I claimed suspend works - and
it did work before - now it doesn't work anymore!

I had to upgrade my bios in order to get Intel VT option in bios - and
that FINALLY enabled me to run Xen virtualisation! But it seams that
this new bios now has some other issues so not even OpenSuse which
worked doesn't now :(

First time I tried to suspend under OpenSuse 10.2 it freezed, and
second time it started to wakeup but some really strange noises came
from the HDD that FREAKED me out! I powered it off as soon as possible
- and everything worked fine on power up!

Do you have any information, does Intel virtualisation have any thing
to do with suspend/resume? Does it need to be disabled in order for
suspend/resume to work?

Does anyone have some more experience testing new laptops with Intel
VT technology?

Best what I can suggest is http://mhensler.de/swsusp/ And no s2
{ram,disk,both} just doesn't work on Fedora. Whenever I mentioned it in 
front of our kernel people only very loud silence was the answer ;-).

I'm not requesting for fedora to use s2ram - I don't even know what is
the difference between pm-suspend and s2ram. I'm only hoping there are
some better online - official or unofficial resources for making
laptops work with fedora.

I'm having real trouble making any sense with all the different quirks
- because all I tried gave me a frozen system.

So how can I troubleshoot and get my laptop to suspend/resume?

look at my bug report:
