Hello all,

Not so new to Linux but new to laptops, I've purchased recently a Samsung X1 which I'm very, very satisfied with. Stock Mandriva 2006 installed on it, dual boot with the retail XP SP2. Since I'm of the kind to play with stuff, I tried all of the power saving possibilities. Works great, except for two things:

1. hibernate just doesn't work at all... It writes all pages to RAM, shuts down the machine, then I try and "reboot" the machine. It stops at:

swsusp: Reading image data (xxxxx pages): done

End of story... I do have to reboot from then on. No matter whether the AC is plugged in, or any other USB device for that matter.

2. lid: it takes an incredibly long time to switch to the "closed" state, and sometimes says it's closed whereas it's wide open... Windows XP seems to detect it much faster!

I've already tried and googled a bit on the second subject and found nothing at all. I'll try and run the latest 2.6 kernels to see if the hibernate problem gets solved...

If you have any idea of what is going on, I'd be happy to experiment!
