== Configuring Hardware - Suspend and Hibernate ==

If you have a laptop, chances are you'll want your system to go to sleep based on various actions, such as closing the lid.

To enable suspend to ram, you'll need to emerge the ''sys-power/suspend'' package.
'''$''' sudo emerge -av suspend
Once the emerge has completed, test your system can suspend properly. Close any critical applications or network connections, then issue the suspend command.
'''$''' sudo s2ram

		+	Not all systems can suspend or hibernate easily; these features are very dependent on your kernel configuration. Some drivers, such as USB, network and sound, may need to be unloaded before going into either of these states, and loaded again when the system resumes. To enable this, you'll first need to compile the necessary components as modules in the [[Configure_the_Kernel \| kernel]].

-If you have a laptop, chances are you'll want your system to go to sleep based on various actions, such as closing the lid. The ability to suspend and hibernate should already have been installed along with the ''sys-power/pm-utils'' package. When running xfce, managing power actions and events can be simplified by leveraging ''xfce4-power-manager''.
