Hi,
I just bought by self an dell inspiron 1505. I runs great with linux. I installed fedora core 6 on this. The only issue is the following.
Under gnome I can click on "system"->"suspend" and everything will work beautifully. It suspends and when I press the power back on, there is my system again just as I left it.
But the issue is, I can't get it to do the same from the command line. If I do
Code:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
and bring it back to life, I just see a black display. The system hasn't frozen, because I can still reboot by pressing <ctrl><alt><f1>, logging in as root (blindly) and reboot
When I suspend to disk, I can bring it back up, but the display resolution will be all wrong.
So I should be able to suspend, because gnome can do it! But under KDE (my favorite desktop environment), I don't see an "suspend" option in the menu. I could make one if I knew what command to issue.
If anyone has a clue.....
