Re: ACPI suspend Dell 700m 2.6.9 kernel, wont wake up?
Dilemma:
I have got to a point where I am very satisfied, and thank you all for the
help. All that is left, is to shape it a little. Here is what I have
achieved, and what would be nice to be done;
I can suspend using swsusp2 with the various links and websites you all
referred me to, thanks. I am in the progress by the way of writing a detailed
SOP (HowTO) on my laptop, which will include all the ACPI related things,
that can help others too.
Other than swsusp2 I can also put the machine to sleep, with
echo "mem" > /sys/power/state
It is fine, and I can even come out of suspend (resume) with the video_post
tool.
I have a script called /sbin/sleep that does the following
echo "mem" > /sys/power/state
modprobe i830 # Load Video driver on resume (only if its not done auto)
/root/emu/video_post # To wake video up
All this is working fine, when I use the wireless network. When I am on a
wired network, and the module b44 is loaded, this Suspend to Memory is
completely malfunctioning, wont wake up. For that, I would like to extend my
script with something, that would look at "lsmod | grep b44" and if the b44
module is there, it would do "rmmod b44" and upon wakening would do a
"modprobe b44"
How can I put this in the script? I guess it is done with a "If - then"
scenario , but I am not in the level to do this by myself.
Thanks for the help in advanced
