PB5,7 much the same.
I can run the deb kernel, witch as we speak now is 2.6.22-3 deb style. It
works good enought except the bcm43xx requires a strong signal to connect.
2.6.24 vanilla just don't always resume the keyboard, it handles the mouse
each time, but will not resume keyboard activity.
Yeah well, this one time I noticed that just after X resumed I could multitask
to console. Here I could do anything, till I resumed X again. Unable to
reproduce this.
