It works just fine on laptops, with Jens' suspend/resume patch.


not on my fujitsu sonoma/ih6 based laptop it doesn't. in my travels trying to
fix this problem it appears there are many others it doesnt work for either. suspend/resume is incredibly important for day-to-day practical use of a laptop,
particularly using linux. the sole reason i still have a windows partition is
because suspend doesnt work in linux and i'm sick of firing everything up again
3 times a day.

thank you very much to all on this list who are pursuing a solution sensibly and
not making unhelpful blanket statements against the most widely used laptop
chipset maker - *particularly* when they are actively contributing to
development on this list. we (laptop users) dont care about religious
standpoints, we just want it to work.

I've personally tested it on fuji ich5 and ich6 laptops. What model do you have? What kernel version did you test? When did you apply the suspend/resume patch?
