The reason I run the Xi Graphics server is that my laptop has the NeoMagic 2090 chip, and it's not (and probably won't be) supported by XFree86 due to NeoMagic's policy wrt. low-level programming documentation availability. (Sigh.) Be that as it may. However, the most annoying problem with my configuration is that it appears that APM does not work as intended, in particular: doing a "suspend" causes the machine to freeze, not to enter the suspend state, even if I've powered down both PCMCIA cards before doing the suspend. Is this a known problem? On which mailing lists should I listen to to be aware of any progress on solving this problem? (I get enough mail as it is, so volume is of concern.) Please include me in any replies as I currently don't subscribe to this mailing list. Regards, - Håvard
