(This feature is part of the >BIOS, and unless you have hardware docs you can't do it 'portably'.) Sean said "suspend to RAM" and implied that the only thing preventing him from suspend to disk was not using space. It looks like I'd have to properly partition my hard disk to suspend to it, and I don't know (and probably can't easily guess) the appropriate parameters of the suspend-to-disk partition. So it sounds like I keep suspending to memory. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Faber faber@isi.edu USC/ISI Computer Scientist http://www.isi.edu/~faber (310) 822-1511 x190 PGP Key: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkey.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNPXAYIb4eisfQ5rpAQHm3QQArzXntQJkOMVY+sMRmNKJFQTw3sKGDY8N zld1XUuOpybu8zuKTwqDNcmaDa/tHjJO/LasNjl7SRBt1RJrH2Hawr3xcivJzBVK 4KZuE4OWedu/VSyLbhbdu+ULtMHNOhZ+Ibq4N0acnxa7SFToohoX/yKlsA2HyagA m1MJpwTqXKE= =Liyc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
