I agree that suspend/resume cycle makes a huge difference. Sugar's s/r
cycle is *very* impressive. Given that it already works in Sugar, I'd
imagine achieving that in GNOME shouldn't be that much of a stretch.
For suspend/resume on the XO to be supported in Fedora, the patches for
OLPC power management *must* get into the upstream kernel first. And
that was dependent on also getting the geode gpio stuff detangled from
what I remember.
