AIUI the drm kernel module used by the dri extension is the problem with suspend/resume cycles. On a radeon 7500 m all is ok if you switch to a non-X vt before suspending until you switch back to X's vt after resuming. It is better with the latest 2.4 kernels I've tested: the mouse still moves the pointer. Whether any events get reported to the clients I cannot say. The kbd is also wedged. With earlier kernels display never even refreshed after switching back to X. The kludge appears to be to rmmod(8) the drm module (r128.o in your case) before suspending and modprobe(8) it back in after resuming. It looks like the way to do that is to edit apmd_proxy (on suse it is in /usr/sbin; it may be elsewhere on Mandrake try 'rpm -ql apmd'). This would require getting X to let go of it. I don't know how to do that, short of not loading the DRI module at the start.... The real fix is to fix the DRM modules. -JimC _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
