I am the happy owner of an HP Pavilion ze4400, with gentoo installed and running for about a year now. However, it never struck me until now to look for the hibernate and standby features.

Could anyone help me with that? I have speedfreq running nice and smooth, proof that acpid and the kernel acpi are working, but when I do "echo -n mem > /sys/power/state" nothing happens except a flicker of black on the screen then back. When I do "echo -n disk > /sys/power/state" it seems to power down alright saving all the info on the swap, but when I boot up after that, it doesn't load Xorg properly, nothing responds and I have to do hard poweroffs (keeping the power button down for 4 seconds).

Here's the output from lspci:
Code:
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc AGP Bridge [IGP 320M] (rev 13)
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 320M] (rev 01)
0000:00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)
0000:00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02)
0000:00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV]
0000:00:08.0 Modem: ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller
0000:00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ6912 Cardbus Controller
0000:00:0c.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB21 IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)
0000:00:10.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c4)
0000:00:11.0 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 Power Management Controller [PMU]
0000:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller
0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility U1


I have all the compiled in kernel apart from 2 modules for the PDA (visor and pocketpc), the sbp2 module for the firewire disk, and the ov511 for the webcam.

I use enlightenment only (no KDE or Gnome installed), and I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to fix the problem as well as guide me to useful programs for power management in X rather than the command line.

If there's need for more info on the system, just ask and I'll post.

Thanks in advance

Are you using the ATI binary driver? If so then it doesn't function correctly yet and you can either not use it or not use the suspend/resume functions

no, it's not the binairy driver, it's plain old kernel 2.6.9 and Xorg without anything special.
It's a laptop chipset, also known as IGP320M. It sucks terribly but it works...

I use swsusp2 on my Pavilion ze5620us with no troubles.

Maybe that helps.

Cheers,

in what package is swsusp2 included? I can't seem to find it anywhere...
Also, do you have a special acpid setup?
Thanks

You will need to patch your kernel with SWSusp2.

Good luck!
