They're for saving and restoring GPU state across suspend/resume. They're particularly useful if your machine doesn't re-POST at resume time. In that case your GPU may be totally uninitialized, so either the kernel or X has to set it up for you (X only does that partially). > Tested suspend-to-ram, and suspend-to-disk, both console and X on notebook > internal LCD display, all works without these two functions. > > But, anyway, got down to just one line in i915_drv.c causing the hang > during suspend. "pci_set_power_state(dev->pdev, PCI_D3hot);". Interesting, which chipset do you have? AFAIK that shouldn't cause a hang. > And green screen problem during resume is caused by i915_restore_vga(dev); I know I fixed that problem in at least one configuration... Can you try: # echo test > /sys/power/disk # echo disk > /sys/power/state and see if that also turns your screen green? Also, getting a GPU register dump would be helpful. The intel_reg_dumper tool is built as part of the xf86-video-driver build (git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel), can you pull that down and try it out?
