I'm not 100% sure on all the implementation specifics here so I won't
pretend otherwise.

I'd hope that as a blessed kernel implementation that it would be clever
and sensible here, but who knows!

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> And what about all the hooks that used to be run by pm-utils?
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> How will they be run now?

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Not 100% sure but as mentioned in another thread I think many of the

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> came along. So this is likely an opportunity to tidy it up and get rid
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> of the kruft.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But overall some of the quirks are likely still needed, so I've started

</I>&gt;<i> That's not only about video quirks.
</I>
Yeah, so the video quirks should be mostly useless now.

I spoke to some Arch and Fedora folks and they've all had very few
issues with the switch in this regard.

See reply to my upstream question here:
<A HREF="http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/6937">http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.systemd.devel/6937</A>

&gt;<i> This one is required to forbid messing with the suspend image in swap by
</I>&gt;<i> rebooting in another kernel:
</I>&gt;<i> /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/01bootloader
</I>
I'm not sure of this one specifically - will try and clarify.

&gt;<i> There may be some other useful ones, notifying apps about resume, like:
</I>&gt;<i> /usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/95packagekit
</I>

Yeah those kind of ones should just be migrated I think.
