acpi S3 help
 

i've got a sony vaio with slackware 10.2 and a 2.6.13.4 kernel on it. i've been pretty successful getting S4 to work(its just suswp, right?) but i've had a few issues resuming from S3. Basically, what happens is when i do an "echo mem > /sys/power/state" it goes into sleep mode, my power indicator light starts slowly blinking red, i guess that means it's asleep, i think it did this in windows too. anyway, when i hit a key, the light turns green, like it's back on, but the screen doesnt come back. i've tried giving it the acpi_sleep=s3_bios boot parameter, and now it's able to resume, but after it resumes, i get a prompt and anything i enter in it just kinda ... does nothing. so its like:its as if i'm in a program that has crashed and i cant ctrl+c out of it. at this point i still have keyboard control, etc. but i cant ctrl+alt+del to reboot and i have no control over anything. after about 2 minutes of this, i hear a little whir(the hd spin up maybe?) and everything works(successful suspend/resume) but that's way too long, i could have used S4 and resumed faster than that. is there anything i can do to speed up my resume from S3?
