Linux APM problems



Lee,

I'm afraid I can't offer any help; I have a 701 that suspends and
resumes just fine with Fn-F4, with and without apmd.  However, I am
very interested in your progress with Linux (APM and other issues),
since I'm planning to buy a TP600 shortly.

By the way, are you dual booting, or running Linux solo?  On my 701 I
have separate disks for Linux and NT, but am hoping to be able to dual
boot the TP600 to share a file system.

Please keep us posted,

-jeff
