Hi All-
A few weeks ago I had posted a missive to the list about an
ACER 600TER that I was setting up for a faculty member. The
machine in question was locking up solid on resume from suspend
(both zzz and bios fn key suspend). The machine would lock up
solid regardless of whether I suspended in X or on a virtual
terminal. With the changes listed below, the notebook (pretty
nice at around 5 lbs with 13.3 XGA TFT and onboard enet and a
cdrom-writer--not tested as anythign other than cdrom).
This turned out to be locking up for 3 (count'em three) different
reasons. It still will lock up on resume for X if I suspend before
a user logs in on xdm ... od, eh? And I am not sure why the machine
doesn't seem to like the CTRL+ALT+Fn sequence ...
1) The onboard "Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet" would lock up. This
required me to apply the patches in PR 18756. I would also like to
vote for this to make it into 4.1.1 ... I am cc'ing -STABLE on this
to voice my vote :)
2) The onboard soundchip "ESS Solo-1 (unknown vendor)" would lock up
on resume. I fixed this by the rather cheesy fix that came to me
in a moment of inspired lunacy ... simply adding a resume/suspend
DEVMETHOD entry. ... I am cc'ing Cameron and Nick on this!

3) The machine has the dreaded the ATI Rage Mobility chipset. I had
to move to XFree86-4.0.1 with the mouse patch (which still has yet
to make it into the FreeBSD port ... sigh!) below to fix toggling in
and out of X and virtual terminals with moused.
