Re: [gentoo-user] Suspend2 issues

[Mike Myers <fluffymikey@gmail.com>]

Hey Iain,

Thanks for the info!  I kinda figured that klaptop did something 
different.  It obviously didn't run the hibernate.conf scripts.  I guess 
I can settle for running hibernate in the console, I mean, that's better 
than nothing, really.  Klaptop and gkrellm at least still give a good 
indication of the battery status.   Anyway, I'll start bugging the 
people on the suspend2 lists now about it.  thanks a lot!

Mike
