Please don't until all the framebuffer drivers are able to deal with suspend and resume (which will also require some mechanism to switch backlights back on).

There's no real support for doing so with most accelerated framebuffers. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59-chiark.mail.linux-rutgers.kernel@srcf.ucam.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
