SOLVED! Possible suspend problem...?
Hey,
I have a Gateway M-152S running Fedora 9. I have it set to when you close the lid on the laptop to suspend when on battery power. At first, after re-opening the lid the screen would stay extremely dark. I'd have to reboot in order to get the screen back. I've tried restarting X, but that doesn't fix the problem. I looked into the X.org log, but didn't see anything there. I'm wondering if it's a problem with Intel driver? Any ideas on what's going on or where I should look? First time owner of a laptop with linux on it. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks |
I've searched the forums and I can't seem to find anything relevant.

The card is an i855?
Does it freeze the computer? Quote:
I have this little problem. Actually my only one. There is a fix but I'm lazy, I just switch to console before closing the lid.. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/query.cgi?format=advanced |
It's a PM965 chipset. Intel X3100 I think it is. The computer does not freeze, it just stays dark. Gnome comes up fine and I could continue doing everything I normally could, it's just extremely dark.

Hibernate works well, however it takes as long as a bootup to get back to X. Suspend seems to be the only problem.
|
Searching the forums again, I found the command 'acpi_sleep=s3_bios' (which you pass to the kernel in grub), but all that appears to do is switch the power management option from suspend to hibernate.

is there a suspension for hibernation?

On my Gateway M-152s running Fedora 9, I had to add this line to my xorg.conf in order to get it working:
