Description Edwin Smith 2010-11-24 01:22:56 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 SUSE/3.6.12-0.7.1 Firefox/3.6.12

Dual-boot Windows 7 sleep was normal.  Installed openSUSE v11.3 and Windows 7 sleep no longer works.  Sleep seems normal in openSUSE.  Is there a hardware reason why this has to be?  If so it would be good if some warning could be given.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Windows 7
2.Install openSUSE
3.Try Windows 7 sleep
Actual Results:  
Windows 7 does not sleep

Expected Results:  
Sleep should work in whichever of openSUSE or Windows 7 is booted.

This caused a lot of agony with Dell support.

Sorry, but bugzilla is not a support forum. I have no idea about windows 7, but I can imagine that your laptop's hardware vendor added some very special hack for windows - and we can't support all of that. Unless of course you can provide way more informations about the problem.

I suggest you look around in openSUSE forums about other people having this problem, perhaps together you come up with a more detailed problem and we're able to fix something. But with the informations given, there is no way I can look into this.
