Since an upgrade  standby does not work anymore

Does suspend and hibernate (-u and -U) still work?

Mmh, they work as before. That means suspend-to-disk only works once and
after the resume the usb mouse and usb keyboard work no longer. I know
it has to do with "bad" modules but as hibernation is not so important for

me I did not put much effort in fixing it. Suspend-to-ram did never work and unfortunately this state is preserved with this new version.

One problem is, that the hal version in Debian doesn't support standby.

I'm a bit undecided, if it makes sense to pull the standby patch from suse.

Cheers,
Michael

powersave is coming from suse, and they have patched hal to support standby (aka S1). I guess they never tried to get this patch merged upstream, as S1 is mostly useless. The power savings are marginal.
