What I would like to know is how this is all supposed to work. I tried a non-APM kernel on a Dell Inspiron 3200 and when I press the suspend button (actually a sensor to tell when the lid is closed), the system is suspended (I don't know whether it's to disc or RAM). When I release the button, the kernel resumes, but has lost time.
When I switched to an APM kernel, pressing the suspend button suspends as expected, and when I release the kernel resumes, and it fixes up lost time. However, several seconds later the system suspends *again* (of it's own accord) and I have to press the power button to resume it. In the second suspend the kernel looses time.
What gives?
