Suspend problem

Hi All,

I'm new to Arch Linux.  I was trying to install Linux to an "oldish" Toshiba laptop recently (Satellite Pro M40).  I tried several distributions and had loads of problems with the installers on this laptop freezing.

So I gave Arch a try, and I must say, I'm really pleased with it.  I've installed the base system, put LXDE on and have a nice minimal system that is fairly quick.

The only problem I have is with suspend.  The laptop appears to suspend fine, but when it is resumed, LXDE is shown and then appears to crash.  I have to hard shut down and start up from scratch.

Does anyone have any ideas what I could try to fix this?

Thanks.

Re: Suspend problem

After some more reading and searching, I don't think it's possible to get suspend to RAM working on this laptop.

For information, suspend to disk works fine.  I have configured suspend to disk and forced suspend/hibernate/hybrid to all use suspend to disk.  It's not ideal, but it now works well.
