So Wander,

I had a short look in to the opentom.org project and have got a lot of new questions:
- does the opentom.org kernel support the original "suspend to RAM" functionality of TomToms kernel?
- is there anybody using this functionality?
- has somebody measured the power consuption in the sleep mode?
- the opentom kernel has a file "/arch/arm/kernel/apm.c" which is not in the normal Linux kernels. Where comes this file and other
power saving infrastructure from, where can I grab it, is there anyone else out there using it, on which device?


Thanks,
Marcel
