The following tables headings shell designate the following meanings...

  • APM
    • Blank = ability to turn off the LCD while using APM
    • Sleep = ability to do a suspend-to-ram using APM
    • Hibernate = ability to perform a suspend-to-disk via the BIOS
    • Battery = ability to get statistics on remaining battery life from the APM subsystem
  • ACPI
    • Blank = ability to turn off the LCD while using ACPI
    • Sleep = ability to do a suspend-to-ram using ACPI
    • Hibernate = ability to perform a suspend-to-disk using ACPI
    • Battery = ability to get statistics on remaining battery life from the ACPI subsystem

The fields should be filled with one of the following:

  •  ? = unknown / untested
  • yes = working (with or without extra configuration effort)
  • no = not working (because kernel support isn't there yet)
  • part = partially working (unsolvable trouble on resume or something like that)
  • N/A = not supported by the hardware
  • ACPI-Hibernate can additionally have one of these:

T20 Hibernation:

  • tested with SuSE 9.2
  • APM needs a special file on a windows partition

R51e Sleep:

  • tested with Kubuntu 6.06
  • R51e needs the BIOS/firmware update from february 2007 to successfully resume. Resume completely hangs (no screen, no keys) with older software.
