I continued to try out the power management features. I put my computer to sleep using
| Code: | | echo -n mem > /sys/power/state |
The power light started blinking(good). When I tried to restore it, the power light came back on solid and my hardrive and cd rom spun up, but the screen stayed black and the keyboard didn't function
The following code did nothing:
| Code: | | echo -n standby > /sys/power/state |
I was able to get software suspend to work (partly) like this.
| Code: | | echo -n disk > /sys/power/state |
I saw lots of good feedback on the screen, although it went by quickly so I don't know what all it said and I can't find anyting in my logs. The downside is when I tried to bring it back, it rebooted instead of restoring. And I did append resume=/dev/hda3 (my swap partition) to the kernel script in grub.conf like the docs said to do. I would be pleased if I could get software suspend to work correctly.
I have a gateway 600 ygr notebook that supports S0 S3 S4 S5. Will be nice when I can get standby and suspend to disk working. |
