Nvidia driver not working properlly when resuming S3 suspend.
Hello,
I just installed Fedora Core 6 on my system and the latest Nvidia driver (1.0-9631).. Before installing the Nvidia driver, the S3 suspend function worked perfectly... after in stalling the driver it no longer resumes correctly.. the screen remains blank and nothing I do will wake it.. I tried switching to a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F5.. nothing just blank.. The only thing I can do is reboot the machine.. Anyone have any ideas how I could work around this problem? Thanks |
hey there - ran into similar junk when setting up my HTPC. Eventually I went back to FC5 for many reasons, but the short answer to what I believe you need is:
-- the beta driver 9742. NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9742-beta-pkg1.run is what i have it named as. You should be able to google it. This driver worked for me, without a hitch, getting rid of the 'random blank screen' that I experienced with the previous driver(s). |
Thanks for the reply poweredbydodge!
Unfortunately the latest set of drivers no longer seem to support my outdated Geforce 4 MX440.. But I found a solution on the Nvidia forums.. Basically I just had to: Boot the kernel with agp=off and edit /etc/pm/functions-nvidia, just commenting out "/usr/sbin/vbetool post" in resume_video() like: Code:
resume_video() |
