I would love to > know how to fix it but I am not too bright !!! :-) I think it depends very much on your distribution, because the config file for the apmd is not always the same. First of all, shutting down the apmd completely works for testing. This can be done by "/etc/init.d/apmd stop". If you have an old SuSE version, it can also be /sbin/init.d/apmd or maybe also /etc/rc.d/apmd. If that works but you need the apmd for something else (ejecting pcmcia or stopping sound), search for the apmd config file. On SuSE systems, this is /etc/rc.config.d/apmd.rc.config. You should be able to figure it out by listing all files in the apmd package. I don't know how to do this on debian, but on an rpm-based system to "rpm -ql apmd" and look for a filename that could be the config file. In this file, you should find an option like "LEAVE_X_BEFORE_SUSPEND". Setting this to "no" solves the problem on my system. If you have a RedHat system, this posting might also interest you (the link on the dell site has changed, but searching for "linux and apm" on the main page will bring you there): http://groups.google.com/groups?q=apm+X+4+ati+suspend+group:*linux*&hl=en&scoring=r&selm=95up13%245cl3%40news1.lmtas.lmco.com&rnum=1 cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

X supports APM directly now. Thanks! That's it! I just shut the apmd down and suspended, and it came up properly. Maybe one should include this as a hint in the install script or in some FAQ of XFree 4.x, because some upgraders from 3.3.6 may run into this... Thank you very much! It's nice to have that working again :-)) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steinermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lehrstuhl f.

Knowing it's not a general X driver problem, I will start to exchange parts of my system like kernel etc. to see what happens. Thank you! Best regards, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.

[Xpert]Ati Rage Mobility and X 4.1 won't resume from suspend
Hi, I just upgraded from XFree 3.3.6 to 4.1 on my laptop which has a Ati Rage Mobility chip. On 3.3.6, suspend and awake worked fine by making the apmd switching to a text console before suspending, using the chvt command in the apmd proxy. I'm working with SuSE which uses a apmd_proxy script which is called from apmd and does all this stuff. Now, with XFree 4.1, it doesn't work anymore. When I try to suspend from X, the screen seems to switch to a console, because it goes black, but half a second later it switches back to X and then suspends! Just as if there was another "chvt 7" called just before the suspension. I traced the apmd proxy script to make sure that the "chvt 1" is indeed executed, but I could not find any hint about another chvt which switches back to X. Neither kernel (2.2.19) nor apmd (3.0) have changed, just X, so I guess it's a problem with X. I've found some messages in newsgroups describing the same problem, but no solution. I also traced the xpert and newbie list archives back to Jan 2000, but found nothing about this topic (only recommendations to let apmd switch vt, which my apmd obviously does...) Does anyone have an idea what to do? Anything else works just fine with XFree 4.1... Best regards, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steinermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lehrstuhl f.
