IBM has a special kernel patch to allow STR (sleep mode = 3) to work.  I 
understand that this patch might have been incorporated into the 2.6.11 
kernel.  I don't know about Dell.  But generally, even with the 2.6.11 
kernel, STR does not work on most machines, desktops or notebooks.  
Warren had a little discussion on STR re IBM T41:

But it still appears to drain quite a bit of juice during suspend.

On most machines (e.g., my HP/Compaq), putting them to sleep is not the 
problem, waking them up is.  SuSE Pro 9.3 specifically advertised that 
it includes the STR feature, while most Fedora users seem to have given up.

Saturday is always a bad day for me.  I was wondering whether you have 
done anything to the xorg.conf file?  How about the Wi-Fi?  Wayne
