Comment 6 for bug 306119

Hi again Chris,

Following your advice I spent about 1.5h recompiling the new non SMP
kernel on my system, unfortunately without any progress on the issue.
There is no apparent change in the behaviour of my system while trying
to resume from suspend. And the only thing I changed in the
configuration from the generic kernel was to disable the SMP.

In addition, there appears to be a problem with my X environment and the
new kernel as the whole compiz cube appeared white! I'm still able to
rotate it, and the mouse cursor is still visible, but other than that
the whole system is in completely useless state. I remember a while ago
I had a similar issue with beryl and somehow managed to solve it by
checking an option somewhere in the beryl configs. I'm not going to
bother doing that this time though since the kernel is useless to me
anyways. Besides I'm planning to upgrade my CPU to Phenom quad core in
the near future and when that happens the nonSMP solution will be
unacceptable.

I'm doing my best and working hard to migrate to Linux, however it
appears that this OS hasn't matured just yet. All I have to do is wait
for that to happen. Until then I remain a Win user :(

Thanks for your support and keep in touch - if any progress is made on
the issue I'd definitely like to know!

Regards,
TL
