Hi all, I'm a linux newbie in need of some help.
I can't get either Suspend to work in my lappy. The laptop is Uniwill223 (Alienware calls it Sentia), it uses Centrino technology. My distro is Suse 9.3 with standard ACPI settings.
When I try to suspend the computer into RAM it goes to sleep and when I try to wake it up, HD led shows some activity, but the screen stays blank. Should I somehow re-initialize the 855GME video or monitor (it's wide btw)?
EDIT: Check below, I found a solution for this problem.
Suspend to HD seems to work okay, except when resuming it does not return to state it was when suspending. Waking up it seems to do completely normal boot (takes a long time also) except it does not ask me to choose kernel, which it does when powering up normally. BTW before it writes the memory content to swap-partition it reports errors in resetting and enabling some mouse device.
Any ideas are welcome to help me to get these work.
Ditto here using SuSE 9.3 Pro and a Toshiba Satellite M35X. But the machine isn't locked. In fact, it seems to wake up just fine otherwise, the screen just never turns back on. I say this because a ctrl-alt-bksp still exits X and a ctrl-alt-delete will then reboot it sucessfully, at which point the screen finally lights up again. So FWIW, it seems to just be a problem with the LCD.
