I'm curious - what version of SUSE? I don't remember if you mentioned
it in an earlier email. I've had issues with suspend prior to 10.1 and
never felt it worked right.

Okay, too techie for me. So the suspend to disk puts everything in the
swap partition? I wasn't aware of that.

I - by default - don't trust suspend to RAM on any OS. I'd suggest
that maybe you resize your swap partition? You can do this - I think -
in YAST.

I only use suspend to disk. I have no idea how big my swap is. I
think, however, I only have 1G of RAM on the lappie.
