ok doesn't seem to give any sort of information why it would suspend for so long. i am assuming it is some sort of kernel problem. the watapon kernel works great--is there a way to simply use its kernel??
while i'm asking, how do you set up the kde pim software for windows?
EDIT:
it turns out that for some reason, when the unit turns off by itself, it takes like 3 seconds to start up.. wtf?
EDITEDIT:
apm --suspend, and it starts up _instantaneously_. trying to look into it.
