Trouble with APM suspend in 5.3-R

[Gary E. RAFE, Ph.D.]

!Please try the following and report whether this helped.
!
!1) Merge revision 1.233 of ata-all.c to your 5.3-RELEASE ata-all.c
!2) Apply patch I've sent to this list yesterday (Subject was 'CURRENT
!   patchset for Thinkpad').
!3) Rebuild your kernel with new ata-all.c
!4) Reboot and try suspend/resume.

Thanks for that pointer -- this change has APM suspend/resume
working again on my Toshiba Sat Pro 6100.

I see that USB still doesn't survive the APM suspend/resume cycle
with USB support compiled into the kernel;
this was an issue in 5.2.1-R, too.
The work-around earlier (compiling USB debugging and enabling debugging
messages on usb.uhci) still works
(i.e., USB comes back after the APM suspend/resume cycle,
albiet with some extra overhead).

Now on to making the native NVidia driver work with X.org;
comments (successes, config files, gotchas, etc.) are welcome.
