Suspend to RAM on Debian Etch and IBM Thinkpad X31

Seems like my machine (Thinkpad X31 with ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY) locks up when resuming from suspend-to-RAM unless I comment out the line

VbeToolPost yes

in /etc/hibernate/ram.conf. Regular hibernation to disk works fine out of the box though.

Bug filed on the Debian hibernate package.

CPU frequency scaling in Debian 4.0 Etch

Apparently there is a more "correct" way to enable CPU frequency scaling in Debian 4.0 GNU/Linux Etch than I described in an older post.

For future reference:

$ echo speedstep_centrino >> /etc/modules
$ echo cpufreq_conservative >> /etc/modules
$ echo ibm_acpi >> /etc/modules

$ apt-get install cpufrequtils

Then edit /etc/defaults/cpufrequtils to read:

ENABLE="true"
GOVERNOR="conservative"
