I noticed the patch went in within 36 hours of the announcement, so it must have been considered successful. And suspend/resume works beautifully -- beautifully -- on my Asus 1005HA netbook:
  • I can use the keyboard function key to suspend
  • X can be running and active -- the OS automatically switches to the console for the suspend, then the resume, then back to X display
  • mouse works great afterwords
  • the athn(4) wireless NIC resumes
  • IPSec SAs and Flows restart

Subject: laptop suspend tests & reports wanted


We are moving towards the 4.8 release.

A major feature of 4.8 will be ACPI-based suspend for i386/amd64 laptops.

It would be very nice if people could grab -current and put their laptops
through the paces, then send us a report to dmesg@ with

- a proper long subject (model of machine, what works, what does not)
- a proper looking dmesg
- PLEASE DO USE A MIME MAILER
- output of sysctl hw.sensors
- any additional information which you think is helpful

Thanks.
