I understand that it is par for the course that it not work on all hardware. What is surprising, though, is that Supsend used to work pretty well, and now does not (I never tried Hibernate).
So one guess is that some recent upgrade broke the code. Another is that one of the hardware sensor the code relies on is beginning to fail, so that gnome-power-management thinks it is supposed to shutdown.
So is there any way I can test these guesses? Is there hardware diagnostic code I can run?
SystemRescueCD used to include a hardware diagnostic program, but so much re-arrangement took place in the most recent release, I am not sure if it even still has it. Nor do I remember it testing power management hardware sensors (this does not sound easy).
Or is there a known bug against Fedora 11 or gnome-power-manager for my hardware? I would do this search myself, but I am having a hard time thinking how to formulate the query. The bug titles for Red Hat in Mozilla are just not very promising.
The hardware is: Toshiba Satellite M105-S3064.
For that matter, has anyone else experience this general problem, that it was working, but a recent upgrade broke it?
I dread the prospect of disabling Suspend entirely, since even if it works only 1 out of 4 times, that is better than 0 out of 4.
