I've seen this too, mostly with Win95, sometimes with DOS, and a couple times with Linux. Go into the BIOS setup and make sure you have Suspend on Lid Close set to yes. When it won't wake up from suspend, close the lid and wait 5-10 seconds for it to suspend again (you can watch the status light). Open the lid and it'll come out of suspend 99% of the time. Whatever is going on seems to hang the keyboard, so you can't use Fn-F4 to re-suspend. Closing the lid seems to bypass the keyboard, at which point the machine returns to a suspended state, ready to wake up as good as new. :) -- John H. Kim jokim@mit.edu
