Re: suspend2ram doesn't turn off the screen anymore on Thinkpad X31 after lenny upgrade



Hi,

Sorry, this was typo on my side.
I'm suspending to ram with /usr/sbin/s2ram which comes with uswsusp package.

I'm using quite a different window manager (dwm) and don't know how to 
configure Gnome corectly for suspending. I have a little script in my $PATH 
which says:
------------------------
#!/bin/sh

sudo s2ram
exec slock;
------------------------
and I run it when I want to suspend. Similary for hibernate (just replace 
s2ram -> s2disk).

slock locks the screen after wakening-up.

Gnome doesn't suspend or hibernate for me "by clicking", but using s2ram and 
s2disk work without problems.

Problably someone knows how to make Gnome suspend in a "user-friendly" way. I 
would be interested to know, but I have no time (and no need) to investigate 
furher in Gnome configuration.
