[tlinux-users:07795] Re: USB problems in GUI

If i may make a comment to all computer users about some stuff in the did
not work part of the link there.

There is a set of patches, unofficial as Linus does not want to accept them
into mainstram, even though they are stable, called software suspend (also
known as suspend2). The sources are amazing as they turn on support to
suspend your PC to disk even if you dont have ACPI support at all, yes, that
means laptops, desktops and even servers. This is thought to not be
possible, but this guy wrote a set of functions that take a kernel, and an
image of a kernel which suspend2 saves upon suspend to your swap space, and
then it does magic, it overwrites the running kernel in memory with the
saved image, thus acheiving magic, hence why against constant attempts to
get this into mainstram, Linus still hasnt accepted it, but the author is
trying hard, now splitting the code into a suspend and resume parts from one
whole. Not to worry, Suspend is pretty stable, even though it may take a few
tries to set up, and a try = a reboot. Yes this means a custom kernel, but
if you built one before, its a breeze. Some people run Suspend2 on their
home servers with a small ups and a cron job, basically when your small ups
runs down, your system can be suspended, saving your server environment
without fs corruption and things of that nature. I use it all the time,
sometimes suspending in the middle of a compile...

Anyways, for gentoo users, you can emerger suspend2-sources, and for the
rest, http://www.suspend2.net/
