Don't other laptop users use standby? It almost works perfectly. The laptop powers off all devices and thens goes on standby....since its pulling no power from the car battery, I let it standby for as long as the laptop battery has power. I can come out of standby in less than 5 seconds. I have a IBM t20 thinkpad.
I have used various front ends, but i don't think it has anything to do with that. I'm using XP Sp2.
Wonder if there is another alternative to standby....maybe a software "pause" function....that way, when i take the keys out of the car, and the car is running on battery power, i can "pause" everything...then if i come back within 5, 10 mins and put the key back in the ignition, the system would un-pause. If i'm not back in 5, 10 mins, then the system hibernates...different from standby since it doesn't actually turn off any devices.
