Toshiba Tecra A5 no longer whitelisted for suspend

[Corey Burger]

Suspend works perfectly on my machine and it was whitelisted. However, as of May 18th, it is no longer.

This is already currently white-listed:

  $ grep -A1 'TECRA A5' /usr/share/acpi-support/TOSHIBA.config
        "TECRA A5"*)
                ACPI_SLEEP=true

Is there another reason why it is failing to suspend or the option is not being shown as available?

[Corey Burger (corey.burger)]

Then this must be a gpm bug, becuase it doesn't showup on the logout dialog or right clicking ont he gpm icon until I enable it in power prefs.

[Corey Burger (corey.burger)]

Just a note to myself that I need to attach lshal -m

[Corey Burger (corey.burger)]

this now works as of RC
