Mine is a PowerBook5,5 model. I'll narrow down the list of modules
interfering with suspend (I'm not happy to lose the USB mouse, for
instance). There's another annoying feature of suspend - the system clock
gets reset to the suspend time on resume. That can be worked around in the
suspend script but I'd rather have that handled in the kernel code.
