laptop resume and apmd

[Bruce Perens <bruce@debian.org>]

I had a problem with laptop resume. I'm running a Toshiba 440CDT laptop,
with 16M ram and a 800x600 24-bit deep display. I have it set up to suspend
when the cover is closed and resume when it is opened. When I am running
"apmd", I am subject to resume failures - you have to cold-boot the OS and
check the filesystems. I removed "apmd" and the problem cleared up.

My hypothesis is that "apmd" is swapped out when the user-suspend signal
comes in (because there is so little RAM). It takes too long to run, and
thus the laptop doesn't suspend properly. I also notice that it is logging
resume, but not suspend.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

	Thanks
