I'll take either. =:)
for some odd reason, APM suspending doesn't work in fc3t2, though it did work wonderfully in fc2. well, rather, I should say that APM resuming doesn't work at all. the laptop suspends fine, but refuses to resume.
I have an IBM A31 Thinkpad, which, I believe, does not play nicely with linux ACPI. at least, I've never gotten it to--as far as suspending goes. I'd LOVE to hear from someone on the list that I'm mistaken, please!! =:)
I pulled down a vanilla 2.6.8.1 tree and patched it with software- suspend-2.0.0.105-for-2.6.8.1 in hopes that at least that would work. And no luck there. I don't know why it doesn't work, but it doesn't. APM suspend DOES work with a vanilla 2.6.8.1 kernel, though. However, with the vanilla kernel, I cannot sync my Clie. udev issues, I believe.
I've filed a bug for the APM suspend/resume problem at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133671.
So, my questions are:
- is there a newer kernel available than 2.6.8-1.541 that would fix my suspend and udev problems?
- is there something I can do to get my vanilla kernel to play nicely with udev so that at least I can sync my Clie?
- what are other linux-laptop-bearing people (Alan?) doing to suspend their laptops?
thanks!!

How do you guys sync your clie actually...i've never got it to work...had to install windows just for this purpose.

well, with fc2, you have to have support for usb-serial and visor built into your kernel, and then simply modprobe visor. after that, connect your cradle/usb cable, etc., press the hotsync button, and then do "PILOTPORT=/dev/ttyUSB1 pilot-xfer -l". if all goes well, you should see a list of databases, etc. installed on your Clie.
Now, having said that, when I do this with my self-compiled 2.6.8.1 vanilla kernel, pilot-xfer is able to connect to my clie and list everything. But gnome-pilot doesn't get connected--in fact, it never sees the fact that the clie is present on /dev/ttyUSB1. This doesn't make sense to me because gnome-pilot has to use the pilot-link libraries, the same way that pilot-xfer does. Anyway, I digress....

Thanks...i just want to try with stock kernel first..looks like have to wait until they've settled with the udev problem first.
