<pre wrap="">looking into the code, I found that the mod uses HAL to suspend (this
idea seams strange, it would be simpler to provide a configuration
file to specify the scripts location) .
So the question is : how do I tell to HAL to use a suspend script ?
(using default scripts provided by hal, or whatever, will usually
fail, and I have written suspend scripts that work in 98% of the cases
including laptops, so I must use them).
I want to test, but without any information about this feature, it's
not easy.
Thanks

You can always add the call to your script, usually in
/usr/lib/hal/scripts/YourOS/hal-system-..., i use uswsusp to do
suspend/hibernate and i had to edit the too HAL scripts, be careful
about the exit code, HAL uses this to identify errors.

OK, it works, but there's a problem : the xfce-mixer. <br>
<br>
With many sound cards all applications using the sound device must be
closed before suspending, else the driver is broken on resume.<br>
<br>
My xfce hibernate script does something like : <br>
<br>
/usr/bin/xfce4-panel --exit<br>
** call suspend script **<br>
/usr/bin/xfce4-panel &<br>
<br>
It usually work very well out of the session logout dialog, but not in
the current case.<br>
