First of all ignore the previous post, since I receive the digest it somehow slipped that my question regarding Grub *seems* to have been answered. I am going to try it out next time I boot Linux.
As for APMD. I installed one of those awefull, horribly amateurish Dell RPMS for APMD. It said it was for suspend to disk on the 8200 and 5xxx but mine is 7500. I was desperate enough that I decided to try it. Dell's RPM was called pcresume.rpm and just that. Oddly enough doing rpm -qlp pcresume.rpm yielded "no files found in RPM"!!! Yet the install (-ivh) seems to have gone well because I didn't get any faults. But again, the RPM is so badly made that it seems to have done/installed something *somewhere* but yet if I do rpm -q pcresume I get "pcresume" is not installed. Hum.... very odd, if it was not installed the -ivh command would have complained loudly (have seen that before). So, I have no idea what that RPM put into my system and probably no way to revert it as RPM DB does not seem to "remember" it was installed. Anyway, I did Fn-A on my I7500 after this and the system did a complete and successful suspend to disk. I had to manually switch to a text console before doing Fn-A because otherwise I get the system to hang (afaik) even though I couldn't find any of the so called kernel modules (agp-something and dri-something) loaded on my system. On resume it automatically switches back to X11. Any way I can have the system switch first to text console before it does the resume so that it does not hang? I would also think it appropriate if the Apm thing or wrapper sends some sort of signal so that the system is locked (X11 or consoles) before it suspends (security). Suspend to RAM still doesn't work though, and that is a pity :( that one used to work just fine back in 6.2 days... On the other issue, I managed to get rid of MetaCity. I had to actually rename the /usr/bin/metacity file so that it would not autorestart before switching to sawfish. The URL shortcuts are still screwed. I noticed some fine applets are gone... pity that the right click on the desktop no longer brings up the dialog to configure the window manager. There used to be a menu (mouse click) that would show all the available Window Managers so that one could select and switch (graphically), and then run the WM's configuration program. This Gnome thing gets more and more confusing every day. Mozilla error, sorry but the mozilla-psm RPM *is* installed on my system. I'm using the stock Mozilla (not the update that came after 8.0 was released). Cheers!
