Axel, flossgeek, I'm tempted to mark this bug as a duplicate of #40621, but I need you to confirm something. Can you please perform the following test?
0. ThinkPad R50e with clean Dapper or Edgy install (no hacked/modded scripts, ACPI or otherwise). 1. In /etc/defaults/acpi-support, set POST_VIDEO=false 2. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, add Option "VBERestore" "true" (refer to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/40621/comments/37 for specific section) 3. Attempt suspend to RAM and resume, attempt suspend to disk and resume If the test works, then this bug is likely a duplicate of $40621. If suspend still fails, then there is another bug at work. However, it is unlikely it will be fixed on Dapper, please refer to the last part of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more information as to why a backport of any such fix is unlikely. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports also has useful comments re stability and backporting. My guess is that any fix to this problem would be too "big" to backport, that is, it would touch too many things and have too great a chance of destabilizing Dapper. -- Suspend and Hibernate are broken on an IBM Thinkpad R50e https://launchpad.net/bugs/47508 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
