 Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2004 9:54 am Post subject: acpi standby problem |
 |
|
howdy,
i'm using gentoo on an ibm thinkpad x40 notebook. i've configured my kernel acpi options according to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml.
"cat /sys/power/state" gives me:
so standby appears to be supported. however, if i issue "echo -n standby > /sys/power/state", nothing happens.
what am i doing wrong?
another thing: when i close the lid, the screen apparently gets turned off. if i do this while in x (xorg), when i open it again, i have a ~4cm wide bar of colored garbage on top of the screen, and have to switch back and forth to another virtual terminal to get rid of it. what could be causing this?
thanks for any help.. |

Standby seems to be supported by your laptop.
However, I think it is not supported by the linux kernel. Sorry, I have never seen standby suspend/resume cycle, but mem is almost the same and sometimes works. Good luck with getting mem working  |

mem doesn't work for me (my system comes back up, but the display stays blank....)
disk I don't use because I use swusp2

stupid me. i forgot to copy the new kernel to /boot, that's why it wasn't working. anyway, took care of that, but it still doesnt work.
standby doesn't work, i get a black screen saying something like this:
| Code: |
Stopping tasks... =====================|
Restarting tasks... done.
|
then i get thrown back to my desktop.
from looking around on the forums this seems to be related to usb problems, but i couldn't solve this.
mem works sort of, it seems to suspend but when i poweron again, the screen stays black too and i have to hard-reset.
i won't even try suspend to disk as apparently this is very unstable as well.
[rant] to sum it all up, i'd say that after running gentoo for almost 3 weeks now most of the hardware stuff still isn't working right. i'm almost tempted to move back to windows, but i will probably just buy a mac next year and leave the pc world behind. there seems to be no reasonable os around here [/rant] |

How are your drivers compiled. For suspend to work no my laptop Dell D600 i have to have the usb drivers as modules and unload them before attempting to suspend or esle i get that same error. I ti s probbably best to compile all non essential drivers as modules to enhance the chances that the machine will survive the suspend resume cycle.
Not that if that laptop has a ait graphics card your chances of getting it to work are small.
Good Luck |
