If the kernel doesn't tell us that we support standby, we don't show it.

You can check if your computer supports suspend pretty much the same
way we do (for Linux, not FreeBSD):

  pm-is-supported --suspend && echo "Suspend is supported" || echo
"Suspend is not supported"

If you're having trouble with suspending for any reason, and that says
suspend is supported, tell us and file a bug.
