Thanks,
I will try suspend.sh, but want to edit the post a bit.

There are 2 distinct cases.
1) Laptop gets frosen on lid close-reopen.

External monitor has nothing to do with it - it's not attached in this case.
The symptom is this:
When I close laptop's lid, and then reopen it, the screen lights up and shows me my desktop as it was - all is good so far.

But, the OS seems to be frozen and I can't wake it up - not with mouse, not with keyboard.
Must do hard reboot.
I understand that disabling suspend.sh could work around the problem by disabling suspend.
But this is not how it should work.

The laptop SHOULD go to suspend in certain cases, and SHOULD then wake up.

2) What those cases are should be configurable. E.g. In case I don't have an external monitor, and just use laptop stand-alone, I probably would want it to sleep on lid close.
In case there's an external monitor attached, I probably wouldn't.

In Windows, that's controlled by an applet in Control Panel. Is there a similar applet in Fatdog64-700, or command ?

But, first things first, let's address 1) first, as it seems more important.
Thank you for your help.

Known issue effects me and my AMD cpu with FD7 why it occurs maybe kernel settings etc. I disable suspend.sh by removing execution bit. I do not forsee an actual fix maybe when ATI/AMD is compiled it may function.. still looking forward to a standard compile by the developers.

Some basic information would help.

What version of Puppy?

Make and model of computer?

Fatdog64-700.
HP 15t Laptop with Intel® Celeron® N2840 Processor
