LinuxQuestions.org - Recovery from suspend to RAM only works in X?

I have a Thinkpad t42p that I'm trying to get configured to run Slackware. I am currently working on getting the ibm-acpi driver to control lid and button events. I have worked out a script to get the laptop to suspend to RAM, but it seems to only completely recover if I am in X. When I put the machine to sleep in the console, I get a blank screen upon recovery. It seems like the backlight isn't turning on. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem.

I am running a framebuffer console as well as the most recent ATI driver.

My suspend script goes:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



#change to console 1 

FGCONSOLE=`fgconsole`

chvt 6



#save video stats

cat /proc/bus/pci/00/02.0 > /tmp/video_state



#if launched through a lid event and lid is open, do nothing

echo "$1" | grep "button/lid" && grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state && exit 0



#sync filesystem and clock

sync

/sbin/hwclock --systohc



echo "mem" > /sys/power/state



#readjust the clock (it might be off after suspend)

/sbin/hwclock --adjust

/sbin/hwclock --hctosys



cat /tmp/video_state > /proc/bus/pci/00/02.0



#change back to X

chvt $FGCONSOLE



#clean up behind us

rm /tmp/video_state

Thank you for any input
