15 Hi !
16
17 I´ve got the same machine. S3 and S4 work here. forget swsusp2. it only makes
18 things complicated. use the swsusp which is already in the standard kernel.
19
20 On my machine both S3 and S4 work pretty much out of the box. Only
21 configuration is editing the config files hibernate.conf and ram.conf
22 in /etc/hibernate.
23
24 Only thing I had to change there is the vbetool option (vbetool on) to get my
25 Video card (ATI 9600) reactivated after suspending. You might have to try
26 different settings in that section. And figure out if there are any modules
27 which need to be unloaded/reloaded. In my case its ndiswrapper and the USB
28 Stuff.
29 And of course don´t forget to emerge vbetool.
