laptop standby

[Benjamin Roe]

Actually, I'd confused the old (2.4) and new (2.6) ways of doing it. You
have to echo the actual state you want:

echo "mem" > /sys/power/state

which now works fine on my laptop (suspending to memory). You shouldn't
need to add anything to your grub menu. Suspend to disk doesn't do
anything on my laptop yet though.
