I have been terribly busy the last weeks and am slowly working up my backlog. I'll try to get better wrt. response times ;-) Sometimes it also means that nobody has an idea on how to help you, but not this time. > hal:~ # s2ram -i > This machine can be identified by: > sys_vendor = "TOSHIBA" > sys_product = "Satellite P15" > sys_version = "PSP10U-0DUJPV" > bios_version = "V1.20" > See http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram for details. > > If you report a problem, please include the complete output above. > > > I have tried s2ram on my toshiba satellite p15-s409.

You can install additional kernels (e.g. the latest FACTORY or opensuse 10.3 Alpha kernel) with "rpm -i" instead of "rpm -U", this will give you two kernels to choose from at boot and will keep the old kernel in case the new one does not work. You can of course also compile a recent vanilla or -mm kernel. > I did what is recommended on http://en.opensuse.org/NVidia_Suspend_HOWTO: This is rather old and i have not used an NVidia card for a long time, so i'm not sure if this is still needed or even a good idea, or if it does harm with recent drivers :-( > Enable NvAGP > Put the line > Option "NvAGP" "1" > in the "Device" section, after the line 'Vendor Name "NVidia"' in > /etc/X11/xorg.conf > > DID IT, DOUBLE CHECKED, IT IS DONE. > > SUSE 10.0 > > Find out which agp module is currently loaded by running > # lsmod | grep agp > Typical names are intel_agp, sis_agp, via_agp etc. Please ignore agpgart here. > Mark this agp module as blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.conf.local.

This actually looks like a driver problem. Try this without the nvidia driver being loaded. If this works, the nvidia driver is to blame. In that case, try it without the (old) workarounds from the NVidia Suspend HOWTO, maybe the newer driver works well, but those workarounds break it. > A few more tests under X: > > running X: > > s2ram -f -a 1 works first time - > second time the screen blanks > screen backlight is on. > ctrl-alt-f5 takes me to the console. login takes a username, > never comes back to ask for password. > alt-f7 takes me back to black screen with backlight on > ctrl-alt-f5 seems to do nothing > hard disk led light show action It is on all the time? This might hint at a disk driver issue, and be a hint that trying a newer kernel might be a good idea. There have been many fixes in driver land since the 10.2 kernel.
