Ahhh.  Yes.  That's what I have been doing.

Right.  I already have been booting to single and been using the pm-
suspend command to suspend.

Ubuntu Hardy with the 2.6.28-rc8 kernel.org kernel and Ubuntu Intrepid's 
pm-utils release (1.1.2.4-1ubuntu8).

I dream of the day.  :-)

One thing I'm thinking about, given that /sys/power/tm_trace is 
indicating that the resume problem is in LNXVIDEO, and I have the "i915" 
module loaded (it's one that I can not remove as something is always 
holding a reference to it) when I suspend/resume, is there any way to not 
use that module, at least to see if it's the culprit?  Is there a generic 
video module I can substitute for it?
