This should have been the case for the past several releases but thanks for your feedback. Always good to hear from more users.

Maybe it should but my Fedora on Thinkpad experience is not so good. I have an X31 and suspend has been so spotty over both F10 and F11 that my use pattern has been close all apps before suspend. If it wakes up, great I saved the boot and login time and if it goes FOOM! no data is lost and only a couple of seconds of time. Depending on the kernel of the week the odds of FOOM! have ranged as bad as 100% to as good as 20%.

F12 will go on after it gets a few weeks for the worst of the bugs to get sorted out. Sorry for not being a better test subject but this machine has to work. If the data loss bugs are finally fixed on the HPT374 driver (F8-F11 at least) I'll install at home this weekend.
