Anyway, it means that suspend is still quite a hot topic, and that is
good. (Linus said that suspend-to-disk is basically for people that
can't get suspend-to-RAM to work, and after I got suspend-to- RAM to
work reliably here, I can see his point).
I completely agree. My Mac PowerBook has had suspend-to-RAM for a long
time; I shut the lid and about 3 seconds later it's asleep, open it and
3 seconds later it's awake. Leave it sleeping for a week on a full
charge, come back to find it still asleep. I can even put it to sleep,
remove a drained battery and put in a fresh one (it has a small
internal 2-minute RAM battery), then wake it up and resume work. I'm
curious though, what proportion of laptop hardware actually has support
for suspend-to-RAM? (including hardware for which linux does not yet
have support).
I'd say about... 100% of all in use today :-) Really, I've not seen a
machine without APM or ACPI in ages...
What percent of that hardware _does_ have Linux support?
85% I'd say. My notebook supports suspend, but not stand by, in Linux.
Suspend uses more battery. :-(
Cheers,
