Since you asked for it: please include the pmdisk patch, currently
maintained by Guido Guenther, in kernel-patch-powerpc. Together with
appropriate invocation of suspend in pwrctl-local, this should keep people
with broken video drivers happy (suspend in place of sleep).
I've not heard of any problems with the patch other than suspend breaking
due to broken modules still loaded - pwrctl-local can take care of that,
too. Any generic power event scripting framework will also be capable of
supporting suspend.
Laptops unsupported for sleep mode is a rather serious bug, and suspend as
a workaround to fix that would be good to have. My only reason to not
raise the severity is that pmdisk might be replace by something even more
incomprehensible in future. There is some controversy to the effect that
this already happened, though.
With apologies to Douglas Adams,
Michael

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 450 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 252247
thanks bts
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
252247@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
This is the second massive wnpp closing that is being done. The next close
will be done on inactive RFPs older than 365 days and finally, an automatic
script will close, by default, *inactive* RFPs when they reach one year of
inactivity.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org> Wed, 20 Sep 2005 17:06:42 -0500
