Hi The Gnome default suspend (from the power manager applet??) does not well for me. most times, it can't wake up, or get a black screen. I use a commend line, it works well, sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on my question is how to change gnome suspend default argument to as the above commend line? best L -- http://etvillage.blogspot.com/
