Re: [trinity-devel] TDE Powersave -- some clarification needed (not only in my mind -- in the docs too)

Thanks to my "Google Ph.D" ( :-) ):

I assure you that your comments are more than welcomed and taken exactly in the way you described.
Please continue in your scrupulous TDE dissection, that is exactly what we need!
Just keep in mind what I already said and do not grow tired if some of the bugs are not look after for months.
We do what we can.

Suspend2Both sounds very interesting. Honestly I did not know about that.
Slavek, I think we should look at adding this for R14.1.x, I hate failed suspend-to-ram sessions.

Thomas, please fill as many bug reports about issues as you see fit. That is the only way to constantly improve!
Thanks for your effort.

Just wondering, have you recently moved from Suse KDE 3 to Trinity?

Cheers
  Michele
