Re: swsusp2, kernel 2.6.14 and iBook (mid-2005)

Thanks guys !

my swsusp is now working. I modified /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf as
indicated to make use of swsusp (the default config for hiberate is
done for swsusp2...don't forget to comment the "xhacks" section at the
end...).

It works great, except, that after a resume, the windows of Xorg/KDE
do not look great at all and would need a refresh. They look again
great once I've moved them a bit, but the wallpaper covering the
desktop still does not appear. Any ideas ?
