A notebook without suspend support? Or is it just not working for you?
If it is not working, I'm sure you have a kernel with APM support, but
have you looked at the sleepd package?
IIRC, there also was a package which could hibernate (suspend-to-disk)
your computer even if it didn't support it. It probably used linux to
write a partition and to restore it on the next boot. The problem is, I
can't remember what it was called and I don't seem to be able to find it
using apt-cache search. However, my laptop doesn't suspend-to-disk under
linux (it just hangs) and I'd like to know what package it was.
TIA,
David
