Hello all! I'm new here, but so far, found this list to be a great
resource! Hopefully I can cantribute soon...
Now for my first problem (read "most important") with my FC3 install.
I installed FC3 on my laptop and updated using up2date so everything is
current (including the kernel). One of the main goals of having a
laptop for me is to be able to suspend, so I decided to tackle this
problem first. Since the laptop I'm using (Dell Inspiron 8100) has no
support for ACPI, I added "acpi=off apm=on" to the kernel line in my
grub.conf.
Moment of truth, "apm -s" in a terminal session. Laptop suspends.
Looking good. Hit power button and screen returns to where it was.
Looks right. BUT -- I have no prompt and cannot execute any commands.
I can hit enter and the curser moves. I can even type. But it's like
my shell isn't doing anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.
