Comment 263 for bug 121653

This is not a poke at Ubuntu since I use it on my work laptop and love
it, but why can Microsoft support Suspend/Resume on any computer made
but Linux Ubuntu cannot?

Reading these posts does not give me much hope that my Lenovo R60 with
Radeon X1400 will properly suspend/resume with Compiz under Hardy.
