Hibernate on laptop with Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M[SOLVED]

Hi

I`m trying to set up hibernate and suspend on my Laptop. I have a Dell D620 with a Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M (PCI express) videocard. I have emerged the hibernate-script and so far does hibernate-ram works, but when i use hibernate the screen goes black when i try to resume.

I`m running on a 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 kernel, with a config i have used for some time on Debian where i got hibernate to work with the nvida card.

The only thing i have done so far is to remove nvidia from blacklistedmodules.

Does anyone know what i have to do, to get this working?

I have seen reports of success with TuxOnIce hibernation on Dell laptops. Try a more recent kernel, such as =sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.26. If that does not work, go through the troubleshooting process described on the TuxOnIce homepage.

The solution is to emerge the nvidia-173.14.12 drivers and not the 177.80 drivers.

Alternately, you could use the open source driver. That avoids tainting your kernel, and hibernate works correctly too.

where do I find the open source driver?

It is in Portage. It should be pulled in automatically if you set VIDEO_CARDS="nv". Alternately, you can explicitly emerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv.
