 FWIW, 2.6.36-rc3-00396-gbe6200a suspend-to-ram works for me on GM45

 I never said that it has anything to do with suspend to ram.

 Ah, sorry for misunderstanding.  My GM45 system is configured to
 automatically S2R on lid close so I tend to conflate the two...

 In fact, suspend to ram works perfectly without any problems. I only
 reboot after I installed a new kernel ...

 I will try some older kernels and see if it is a kernel or userspace
 issue.

 Do try the current tip and/or describe which post-rc3 kernel fails for
 you, just to verify.  Also, is there anything in Xorg.0.log from when it
 fails to restore the video?

 Thanks for reporting the regression, it'll be good to get it fixed ASAP.

over here:
cat /etc/acpi/sleep.sh

if grep -q close /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
then
/usr/sbin/s2ram
fi

works reliably over here(knock on wood..)with radeon not sure
with intel cards..

 Hi all,

 running: 2.6.36-rc3+ (from git) on Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) GM45
 (Sony Vaio Z11)
 Debian/unstable, so xserver 1.7.7, intel driver: 2.12.0

 since some recent kernel I have the following problem: When closing the
 lid on power, so the machine does not suspend, the backlight is properly
 turned off.

 But when I open the lid again the backlight goes on, but there is nothing
 to see: No screensaver, no activity, nothing. Switching to Console in
 blind didn't work either.

 The machine is still responsible (Sysrq, but also CapsLock), and
 killing the X process with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace gets me back a working
 X.

 I am quite sure that it *was* working in former time, but cannot
 pinpoint eaxactely when the problems started.

 If you need any further information or testing, please let me know.
 But it will take some time until I am back somewhere where I can
 ssh into my machine (or try if I can ssh into).

 Best wishes

 Norbert

if you change up kernels and one of them causes this..then I would do a 
bisect.. but if changing kernels makes no diff, then it's userpsace 
related(but could be wrong) i.e. on my machine I use acpid 
/etc/acpi/lid.sh in there its a simple call to s2ram (works fine(with 
radeon though))looking at some of the distros scripts(no-offense) theres 
loads of stuff in there todo all kinds of calls..

hope this helps.

 Maybe the lesson to be learned from all this is, 'if the developers
 don't want something merged because they're not ready and forsee huge
 problems in the future, actually listen to them instead of blindly
 ramming it in regardless'? But maybe that's just me.

Re: Weird suspend/resume problem on HP nx6325 w/ openSUSE 11.2 w/ -rc8

2009-11-22 Thread Justin P. Mattock

Hi,

I'm not really sure where this should be reported, but here it goes.

After installing openSUSE 11.2 on my testbed nx6325 I noticed that resume
(from suspend to RAM) stopped working on it.  Apparently, it hanged while
switching from the console back to X and the box remained completely
unresponsive after that (it didn't even react to the magic sysrq).  However,
it used to work just fine with -rc7 and openSUSE 11.1, so I figured the problem
was related to the new X driver, which is radeon module version 6.12.4 (xorg
server 1.6.5).

So, I started to investigate and found that after a suspend from a framebuffer
console, the resume had always worked.  However, when I switched from X to the
framebuffer console, suspended, resumed and switched back to X, the box hanged
immediately just like during resume after a suspend from under X.  [There also
were some problems when switching from X to the framebuffer console and back
which seemd to be independent of suspend/resume (in short, the screen stays
black after a switch from the framebuffer console to X and you need to kill X
to fix this).]

Later, however, I discovered that if the box was booted into runlevel 3, then
suspended to RAM and resumed, and then switched to runlevel 5, I could log
into X and suspend/resume without any problems for many times.  OTOH, after
booting directly into X, the first attempt to resume always resulted in a black
screen and a hard hang.

I wonder what's up in there.

[Hibernation/resume works 100% of the time AFAICS.]

Thanks,
Rafael

I just noticed today that on my macbook(radeon) using

the screen shows up.(latest stable release works fine).
