I don't think of swsusp as suspend1 - in my mind, Suspend1 was the version =
I=20
released before suspend2 :). That said, I obviously know what you mean. It=
=20
should work - they're basically the same. The main difference that would ma=
ke=20
Suspend2 work for you would be that I've sometimes included the odd driver=
=20
fix in the suspend2 patch to save people having to go searching, and have (=
my=20
bad) been too slow at pushing them upstream.

Regards,

Nigel
