[gentoo-laptop] Problem with Gnome Power Manager --Please help

[mail]

Hi,

I have followed everything I found on gnome power manager and I can't
seem to solve this.

I have a Thinkpad T41 and I am using gnome power manager.  When I put it
to "sleep" (suspend) it naps fine, however, as soon as I wake it up, it
slowly starts to freeze. At first it seems fine but as soon as I ask it
to run an app, that app freezes (i.e. top or ls) then the hd light
starts to freak out, and eventually the whole system locks up and the
only thing I can do is hold down the power butt and kill it hard. 

IT SLOWLY DIES AFTER A RESUME.

I have the latest kern 2.6.19-gentoo-r5, What can I do?

Thanks
Rick

Hi there, my floor mate was also experiencing this problem with while
running the gnome desktop environment. The only way he was able to continue
computing was to log out of gnome, and then back in. I tried to diagnose the
problem and I found that simply killing the gnome-power-manager app (with
kill) would do the trick. That seemed to work for him so I didn't give it
anymore thought.
If anyone has an actual solution to this problem I would also be interested
in it.
