TP 600e APM

I have been working on getting the power saving options in SUSE 9.2 to function correctly on my TP 600e. Everytime I try to close the lid on the laptop, the screen is all scrambled and will not resume,and I have to restart the laptop. I have read that putting acpi_sleep=s3_bios to the grub boot line will fix the problem. However, my question is, if I do that, do i need to disable powersaved or APM and enable ACPI? Also where exactly is the grub boot line? I have gone into the boot line editor but am unsure as to were to input the line...

Any help would be appriciated, this is the last thing I need to tweak, and this has me stumped.

re:bootline
the grub bootline like you guessed is accessible through the bootline editor. so the before would look similar to :

 kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/sda11 desktop elevator=as showopts

and the after

 kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/sda11 desktop elevator=as showopts acpi_sleep=s3_bios

changing the commands from the boot screen is, however, a non permanant change which you would have to do every time you boot. default options can be changed permanantly through modifying /boot/grub/menu.1st

re:apm acpi ...
I'm not sure about the situation regarding these- could you post up the results of

dmesg | egrep -i 'apm|acpi'

(this should show details of what apm and acpi are doing when the kernel is loaded).
