Dear Pavel, Thanks for this helpful response! Super support service!
I copied the Ubuntu kernel, initrd & /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/... onto Suse 10.2. With a bit of fiddling I got it to start X (with a usb mouse rather than the Touchpad) and found that:- * s2ram -f -p -s works properly, with backlight on but some problems with X. Adding:- Options "VBERestore" "true" to the Device section of xorg.conf (Driver "i810") makes it work perfectly. Other s2ram options give:- * s2ram -f -a 1 reboots * s2ram -f -a 2 hard disk spins and LED stays on then everything freezes * s2ram -f -a 3 reboots * s2ram -f -p -m resumes OK but black screen * s2ram -f -p -s resumes OK :-) * s2ram -f -m hard disk spins and LED stays on then everything freezes * s2ram -f -s hard disk spins and LED stays on then everything freezes * s2ram -f -p resumes OK but black screen No need for PCI config registers save/restore (at least I didn't do anything about this). SUSPEND_MODULES="button" in /etc/pm/config. Maybe this machine doesn't work with the Suse 10.2 kernel for the same reason as thread_id=31267289 (HP nx6125 on Suse 10.2)? Do you think I should wait until Suse do a kernel update, or try to get Suse 10.2 to work properly with kernel 2.6.17? Is there any further information that you or others would find useful?
