Bug#452376: further info
I was in a bit of a rush as I was finishing up the bug report, so I forgot to
add some extra info:
The Dell C400 uses an i830 chip.
I invoke suspend on this laptop using s2ram -f -p -s Any other combination
of options fails altogether. This is similar to what others have seen
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.kernel.suspend.devel/2006-12/msg00163.html
I have to use an ubuntu compiled kernel, they must have an extra critical
kernel patch.
When the colors go bad, there is nothing I can do about it save rebooting.
Switching to console doesn't help. Restarting kdm doesn't help.
Sometimes s2ram DOES work okay. It seems that the longer X has been running,
the better. If I try to suspend right after logging in (a common testing
situation), it always fails. If I've been doing other stuff for a while, it
may work. Could it be a video memory allocation issue?
