Re: Dell 700m KDE startup to sleep state - crashing - acpi help ?
Ok.. so you suggest to not try suspend2 then ?
What ive attempted so far is downloaded
2.6.14.2
patched it with suspend2-2.2-rc9-for-2.6.14
ran make menuconfig enabled what i needed
ran make
cp bzImage over to /boot and updated grub
then install hibernate-script-1.12
updated /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf to my liking.
now if i do hibernate it will fully hibernate, but when i hit power button to wake it up, it does wake up, cept my screen never reappears.. but if i blind type shutdown -r now it does fully reboot, so i know it is woken up, just not the screen.
so i changed hibernate.conf to power off after suspend.. re-run hibernate and it does fully power off, and when i turn it back on, reboot the same kernel it resumes back.. only prob is, it only resumes if im under console, if im under X, X crashes on resume and wont start up, where i have to manually do startx.. which kinda makes the hibernation pointless.
if i go your route, how do you activate the suspension? and how do i wake it up? are there any specific configs i need to do to depend on what type of suspension to do? ie suspend to drive, suspend to ram etc?

Hi Paul,
I wrote *a* recipe to get acpi working on dell:
---------------------------------------------------------
Downloaded linux-2.6.13.4.tar.gz from kernel.org to /usr/src
# cd /usr/src
# tar -zxvf linux-2.6.13.4.tar.gz
Downloaded acpi patch acpi-20050902-2.6.13.diff.bz2 from
acpi.sourceforge.net
to /usr/src/
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.13
# bunzip2 -c ../acpi-20050902-2.6.13.diff.bz2 | patch -p1
Configure the kernel
# make xconfig
- disable unneeded stuff
- disable DRM (error /driver/char/drm.o and errors on drm in general)
- enable 'software suspend' (duh!)
- choose your processor
- disable 'hot-keys generic'
- disable 'generic x86'
- do not forget to enable PCMCIA
<SAVE>
HERE GOES (might take 1.5 hour)
# make-kpkg -rev
dell.1 kernel_image
OK, the deb image is 1 directory up
# dpkg --install ../kernel-image-2.6.13.4_dell.1_i386.deb
lets create initrd
# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.13.4
2.6.13.4
Add kernel commands for suspend in swap partition to the kernel line, the
menu.list file in /boot/grup. (added line with initrd.img-2.6.13.4 and to the
kernel line suspend=/dev/hdc5 pm=/dev/hdc5
Notice hdc5 is a swap partition, when you use another partition, you should
(CRITICAL!!!) replace with your swap partition. (the swap partition can be found
in /etc/fstab, search for line with 'swap')
