Re: ACPI suspend Dell 700m 2.6.9 kernel, wont wake up?
CORRECTION OF EARLIER POST
Sorry Julien
Here is a little correction of the script. The folder the video_post is in, is
not enu but emu
echo "mem" > /sys/power/state #--> It goes to suspend
modprobe i830 #---> load my video driver
/root/emu/video_post #---> wake video up
So this is what you will run, provided that you installed the script
under /root folder. This is default by the writer of the script, so I did not
change it. Also, read the README file that comes with the script, and also
dont get surprised, but when you download the script, it is a
"attachment.cgi" file, but you can treat it as a regular archive. This got me
puzzled there for a while. Just download it, unpack it, and run "make" and
you are all set indeed. If you should encounter any further problems, please
post here.
