I don't actually have klaptop working properly yet (tells me there is no
ACPI support...)

But, I suspect that klaptop uses swsusp, not suspend2.

If this is the case, there was talk on the suspend2 list for overriding
that somehow (just looking through emails now...)

The proposal was to be able to:

$ echo "/sbin/hibernate" > /proc/suspend2/override_swsusp

to set your "suspend type" and then:

$ echo disk > /sys/power/state

would use the hibernate script.

I don't know if this is implemented yet.  Also, some kde person may tell
you that klaptop can support whatever method of suspend you want - I
don't know.

I just suspend from a terminal anyway :)

There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it
reluctantly.
