Thats works to some extent . But ubuntu also will not resume after a suspend on the Thinkpad ( threads all over the net on this bug ) . Now i can't test that via the live DVD of mageia or can I?,for example with the unbuntu live DVD nothing happens when I close the lid or select suspend.I suspect because it's a live version .
I guess I will just have to risk a side ny side install and see if mageia fairs any better ,though I bet the can not resume problem may be linux specific as linux has some major suspend resume issues . My desktop for example won't suspend automatically ( given up with that one ).
Ok I will install and report back how it goes .
P.s - that's if I can get start up disk creator to load up magiea's iso !!!!
