When suspending my laptop (Toshiba Satellite 1605CDS; BIOS set to suspend to disk) with Debian 2.2r2's 'apm -s', the screen blanks and then the system locks up hard (not even the power button works). In 2.2.17, 'apm -s' works properly, first blanking the screen (maybe twice), then (apparently) handing off to the BIOS. It looks like the handing off isn't reached in 2.4.0; the screen blanks, but it never reaches the BIOS's 'Saving to Disk' screen. Additionally (included because of the similar symptomology), when changing virtual consoles under 2.4.0 and running X (XFree86 3.3.6; from Debian 2.2r0), the screen blanks once again, but then the system lock up hard, exactly as above. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong or what needs to be fixed? If I get some time in the next few days, I'll look at the code; but school's coming up and I have a lot of work to get done. I can supply more information if you need it. Thanks! -Joseph -- Joseph==============================================jap3003@ksu.edu "I felt a great disturbance in the force.
