Laptop improvement

Hi,

I'm forwarding you an email from Martin Sebesta related to IBM T60
laptop issue:

Any help is appreciated. I have to mention I see similar behavior
of my HP laptop when it's resurrected from software suspend sometimes
even on FC6. CPU load is at 100% immediately after waking the laptop up.
Did anyone from you experience similar problems? Is there known
any workaround?

Thanks,
Jindrich
