ubutnu - laptop - suspend mode howto

[jdong]

That simple script calls upon ACPI to send your system into standby. The
magical command used is "echo -n mem > /sys/power/state".

Ubuntu Warty doesn't have suspend-to-disk support .There were waaay too
many other issues to deal with, being a first release! Hoary will have
support (most likely). If you want swsusp or pmdisk support, you'll
need to recompile the kernel. Even then, most people have mostly
negative results with hibernation. Unless you have quite a bit of free
time, don't try it!
