[ale] Suspend on the Dell Inspiron 8200

[John Wells]

Chris,

I've got the Nvidia Geforce 4 32mb.

You commented out the catch in the nv.c driver?  Also, are you suspending
to ram or to disk?

Haven't tried apm -s, but I will.  This happened when I told the bios to
suspend on screen close.

Thanks for your help!

John
