OK It's not a big deal, I was just surprised by the change.  There was a
time not too long ago where the nv driver wouldn't suspend properly, so
the suspend operation was removed or grayed out (although the nvidia
driver worked).  With F12 (I am pleased to report), the nouveau driver
suspends and resumes perfectly on my T61, so I wanted to make sure it
wasn't still incorrectly blacklisted.

But is the power history still available?
