S3 on Dell laptops..

[Eric Anderson]

Prior to today, I've been running 5.3-RELEASE on a Dell laptop.  Only 
one power save mode worked for me, S1.

Today, I updated my src tree, and sucked in the recently posted acpi 
patches and rebuilt world.

Prior to doing that, attempting to go into S3 would result in immediate 
reboot, whereas now, it actually begins to run the disk, blank the 
screen, and THEN reboots.  So progress has been made :)

I'd love to get S3 (and S4/S4BIOS?) working on this laptop - what can I 
do to help?

Eric
