This state is
a generic, pure software, light-weight, system sleep state.
It allows more energy to be saved relative to runtime idle by freezing user
space and putting all I/O devices into low-power states (possibly
lower-power than available at run time), such that the processors can
spend more time in their idle states.
Where in the source (and how) could I've found that (trying to learn to find my
way around myself, at least a little bit ...)
Thanks to my "Google Ph.D"
( :-) ):

To avoid a possible misunderstanding by the flurry of
bug reports I produce at
the moment: I'm just making the "Grand Tour" through TDE, taking note of
all
rough edges. Please take the flood of critic reports as sign of care and
appreciation of the project.
I assure you that your comments are more than welcomed
and taken exactly in the way you described.
Please continue in your scrupulous TDE dissection, that is exactly what we need!
Just keep in mind what I already said and do not grow tired if some of the bugs are not
look after for months.
We do what we can.
I will then raise a bug report concerning the documentation (which I could
perform in english and german, given some guidance) and an improvement request
concerning Suspend2Both ...
Suspend2Both sounds very interesting. Honestly I did
not know about that.
Slavek, I think we should look at adding this for R14.1.x, I hate failed suspend-to-ram
sessions.
Thomas, please fill as many bug reports about issues as you see fit. That is the only way
to constantly improve!
Thanks for your effort.
Just wondering, have you recently moved from Suse KDE 3 to Trinity?
Cheers
Michele
