No, I must say I haven't primarily because it was working quite nicely
until very recently so was initially wondering whether it was something I
had changed (not that I tend to change much on my eeePC). Is there a link
somewhere for these quirks?
Hm, it seems like it should still work, we definitely didn't *intend* to break
it with 2.5.0. :)
Does it still work from the console (i.e. echo mem > /sys/power/state when
booted to text mode)? If so, then it's likely to be a regression we
introduced in 2.5.0, otherwise it's probably a kernel bug.
