-I just tried the Debian package of the Linux 2.6.16 kernel on my [[X41]] to see if suspend-to-RAM would work. Unfortunately, it didn't. The laptop suspends just fine, but when it's turned back on, the backlight remains off, there is a lot of disk activity for a while, and then the computer just shuts off. When turned on again, it boots normally. Suspend-to-disk works fine, just like before.

 On a different note, CPU throttling broke on my system with the new kernel. I can no longer modprobe acpi-cpufreq. [[User:Ehn|Ehn]] 04:28, 22 March 2006 (CET)
