Sleep & 2.6.10
I happily ran 2.6.9 & Ben's albook-ibookg4-sleep-7 patch on my
PowerBook5,2, 287 (PowerBook G4 15") for a couple months.
It works great - thanks Ben!
Only problem was bluetooth after sleep - resume, but 1) I haven't
played with bluetooth much & 2) I gather it's a general problem with
USB (internal bluetooth uses USB driver) -

I'm now running 2.6.10 & I gather Ben's patch isn't yet available for
this version -

I also gather that suspend-to-disk is available -

However, according to "Documentation/power/swsusp.txt", I must "append
resume=/dev/your_swap_partition to kernel command
line" - but my swap partition is on an LVM2 logical volume
(/dev/mapper/ruk-bip) - so I suspect this won't work.
Any suggestions for suspending, given this configuration? Must I wait
patiently for sleep support with 2.6.10?
Has Ben's patch been integrated into any kernel repositories or
packages? Speaking for myself, the patch is currently far better than
no sleep support at all - is it on its way into mainstream? : )
Thanks again!
Jack
