Actually, they survive, it's just that FF tends to lock up when watching youtube-style videos. Sound is broken during suspend-resume, and can only be fixed by closing all programs using the sound drivers, then unloading and reloading the sound driver module. Unfortunately, the panel volume changer applet (for LXDE, I'm using hardware from 2000, remember...) is one of those programs (it took me a solid 3 hours to figure that one out), so I no longer run that applet. I am happy with my current suspend-resume setup, and can say that gentoo is the only distro that successfully suspend/hibernates when using the proprietary nvidia drivers, and the only one that runs with little enough latency for me* (preemptable kernel ftw!). Thanks guys. Marcus *The box says "Designed for Windows Me on the side"...it ran XP until I got ahold of it *evil smile*
