Re: [LUG] Laptops anyone?

["Kelly Jones" <kj at kellyjones.worldonline.co.uk>]

I see you mentioned an IBM thinkpad 560, i have mandrake 7.2 running on my
thinkpad but i can't get suspend to work.
The laptop suspends ok but is locked up when i resume, CTRL, ALT, BACKSPACE
does nothing and i have also tried manually suspending from a command line
but this still locks up the machine.
I would be grateful if you could shed any light on this as apart from that
Linux runs very well and it is the only thing stopping me from running Linux
all the time.
