Linux laptop Suspend / Hibernation development
Thanks Stefan for your reply.
To answer my own question, here is what I discovered about suspend /
hibernation evolvement in Linux laptop world.
- the traditional tools are uswsusp + hibernate (s2ram/s2disk & hibernate-
ram/hibernate-disk)
- pm-utils is the new suspend and powerstate setting framework. It is
designed to replace such scripts as those provided by the powersave
package. [1]
- The latest development is, however, DeviceKit. Both Ubuntu & Fedora are
moving towards DeviceKit. [2], [3]

2. http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha6
3. http://ostatic.com/blog/a-peek-at-devicekit-in-fedora-11-and-beyond
So far, Debian seems to be lagging behind such evolvement -- I don't see
devicekit in Debian repo yet.
cheers
