 ===== Suspend ===== ===== Suspend =====
-Suspend works without a flaw through the following command.+Suspending to RAM works without a flaw through the following command.
 <code>echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state</code> <code>echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state</code>
 +
 +Seemingly the settings for the touchpad (see below) do not persist across suspension, likely because the X-screen is re-built in a way. Most notably two-finger tapping is interpreted as right-click then. Thus the scripts under '~/.X.d/' have to be re-run.
 +
 +Embedding this all into a shelll alias can be done through the following line in '~/.ashrc' (add more scripts if applicable).
 +<code>alias s='echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state ; ~/.X.d/synaptics'</code>
 +The latter command is executed after waking up from suspension.
  
 ===== Touchpad ===== ===== Touchpad =====
-The touchpad works with two-finger scrolling out of the box. Due to its minuscule size, "middle-tap" (lower right corner) is quite hard to get right. Therefore I prefer to have two-finger tapping be recoginzed. The following code placed in a file 'synaptics' under '~/.X.d/' does it.+The touchpad works with two-finger scrolling out of the box.
