     I have a Dell Inspiron XPS (3.4 GHz P4 Prescott) that will be four years
old in a few more days.  Currently, I'm running 6.3 (mostly), but I intend to
install 7.1 once it has been released.  One thing that has never worked for me
under FreeBSD on this machine is the standby stuff (suspend/resume, etc.).
Does anyone know whether this will finally work right under RELENG_7
(especially 7.1-RELEASE)?
     Thanks in advance for any information on this matter.
