Re: ACPI suspend Dell 700m 2.6.9 kernel, wont wake up?
Hi Julien
For that, you need to follow the steps on the following link:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3670
First what you need, is to make sure the machine actually wakes up, except no
video. You can try SSH-ing to the box, etc. When you established that the
machine actually wakes up, via ssh you need to run the script that you will
find under the mentioned link. It is called video_post
After that still didnt wake my video up, I did an "lsmod" and I saw that my
video driver was unloaded by the suspend. So I did a "modprobe i830" which is
what I need for the Intel driver, and then ran the script
"/root/enu/video_post"
And it woke right up. Note, that it was done from console and while X wakes up
as well, the screen is full of jumbled signs, and letters, so it wont make
sense to wake up into X. But there is a kernel patch to fix that under the
same site, just I have no time now. I will post back witha detailed message
when I figured everything out.
Here is how I do the sleep - resume
I made a script under /sbin/suspendtest
and put the following in
echo "mem" > /sys/power/state #--> It goes to suspend
modprobe i830 #---> load my video driver
/root/enu/video_post #---> wake video up
And then, simply I chmod 755 it, so that its executable, and run "suspendtest"
And it goes to sleep. When I close the lid, and reopen it (its the trigger on
this laptop), the laptop wakes up into console.
