Well, this one has had me stuck for ages…but Antoine from the linux-thinkpad mailing list managed to help out (thanks v.much!).
This mini-howto should help you get suspend working on your R50e, and perhaps many other laptops with the intel extreme graphics 2 chipset. The main problem is that the display is not restored properly or at all and you’re left with a blank screen.
Another symptom (that I was having) which was really frustrating me was I was left with a
People ought to stop using MSN. Did you know that Microsoft legally own everything you write on there? Start using the Jabber IM protocol. There are various clients out there for windows, one of them is called exodus which looks alright. Myself, I use gaim, which is primarily a linux client although I think there may be a windows version around.
It’s a good idea to start using something else, otherwise you’ll find microsoft taking over your lives even more.
This is a work in progress Fire up dhcp on the wireless interface: dhcpcd eth1 (that should create the device also kinda thing)

While setting up my new laptop, I’ve found quite a handy guide for getting Gentoo working on IBM thinkpads: Gentoo Linux on IBM Thinkpad Hope it helps you as much at it helped me.
I’m going to Norway at the end of the week to work on the GlacsWeb sensor network project. Very exciting, basically I’ll be helping out to recover last year’s sensors that are 70 or 80 metres under a glacier in Briksdalsbreen and then helping to put some new ones down (in a nutshell!) There’s a lot more detail to it.
One of the cool things about living in Southampton is this Southampton Open Wireless Network or SOWN for short, basically an open/free wireless network run by University students, and perhaps even me when I get back from Norway next month.
I’m thinking of setting up a node at my new flat. Maybe it’ll draw in some nerds to the area?
I’m getting a laptop soon, so I thought I’d jot down some ideas for work/home interoperability. If that is a word.
Cron job or something that tries to ping servers LAN address, if it can then mount server shares If ping fails then have a go at creating ssh tunnel and mount the shares As usual, I found that there’s already about 100 programs that do this sort of thing. I’ll just wait till I actually get the laptop.
M-/ Completes the token (in emacs) or the directory in bash. less whatever.tar.gz This actually lists the files in the compressed archive!
And here’s some useful keystrokes for emacs
The gallery is back (kind of) until Nick (who’s now in charge of the gallery) fixes it up good and proper. Enjoy. Pics of the latest Cube/Academy nights will be on there soonish, Nick has those at the moment too!
