I have a Lenovo ideapad S1-3. I have installed debian 6, opensuse 11.4, meego and slackware(latest version at the moment) on it. In all of them except debian, resuming from suspension fails. When I try to wake up it, it doesn't resume, sreen is turned off and non of the keys work. The only thing I can do is pressing power button for 3 secs to turn it off.
How can I solve this anoying problem?

That would be an ACPI problem, and the way your BIOS implements it.

You are going to have to search for your particular machine-BIOS to see what others have done.

Also look at your particular distro and see where you can reload the modules for the failed devices upon resuming. If a keyboard is quitting for example, there may be an entry that you can make in one of your resume scripts that will reload it upon resume.

There is no way to simply answer that. You'll have to troubleshoot and find the solution.

Also look and see what debian is doing upon resume. If debian is working then it's loading the modules for the devices upon resuming.

Also take a look at how your devices are detected in X. Are you loading modules in your xorg.conf or are you using HAL or udev.

EHH?
