[gpm] got problems with new kernel? (2.6.17?)

["Paul Johnson" <pauljohn32 gmail com>]

On fedora core 5's newest updated kernel, the Dell Latitude D820
cannot wake up from suspend to RAM.  While suspended, the power light
does flash slowly.  However, after pushing the power button, the
system appears to be totally unresponsive--Screen stays black, and
keyboard use has no effect, can't log in from outside.   It appears to
me that nothing is written in /var/log/messages about the suspend.  I
simply see a re-start.

Here are the full versions of things I'm running.
hal-0.5.8-cvs20060623rhughes
hal-cups-utils-0.5.5-1.2.fc5.2
hal-devel-0.5.8-cvs20060623rhughes

intltool-0.35.0-cvs20060517rhughes
PolicyKit-0.2-cvs20060611rhughes

I get the same result if I run (as root) /usr/sbin/pm-suspend in the
console before running startx or after starting X.

With the previous kernel, kernel-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5, the one that does
work, there is a series of entries showing the suspend in progress.

This tells me that pm-suspend does work, and it makes me think those
gremlins in the kernel are at it  again.
