 |
|
Hi,
suspend-to-ram almost works on my laptop: I mean, the computer gets resumed, but it seems that the video card does not wake up (the display only shows a black screen). However, Gentoo seems to respond, infact I managed to shut down the pc by reminding the steps (CTRL+ALT+F2->enter username->enter password->sudo halt->enter password) without having to look at the gui. In addition/for example, the music I was playing before resuming gets resumed too, so I am almost sure the laptop gets resumed, except for the "gui part". Here is the pm-suspend log:
| Code: | gigi@laptop ~ $ cat /var/log/pm-suspend.log

The laptop has a radeon card:
| Code: | gigi@laptop ~ $ sudo lshw | grep -i radeon
product: AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
version: AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
product: Trinity [Radeon HD 7640G]
configuration: driver=radeon latency=0
product: Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series]
configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 |
Thanks in advance for the help ;) |

I believe that making specia provisions for the nVidia cards in order to suspend/hibernate is normal. I use pm-utils to suspend the system that I'm on now, but this system has Radeon graphics. Another system does have nVidia, but it uses hibernate-script to suspend. I'd read the pm-utils docs and see if there is a section on configuring around nVidia graphics.

I read some under /usr/share/doc but that wasn't useful, at least for me. I have not the right skills to create my own scripts for pm-utils, is there any thing I can do? Is there a standard procedure to suspend/resume the gpu? Thanks |

First, I know you have radeon hardware, but are you using the Catalyst or radeon driver for it?
Second, do you have an external monitor you can hook up to your laptop, and see how it fares through suspend/resume? I did a little looking with "pm-utils radeon", and there is a partially relevant thread here: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/laptop/484970-radeon-black-screen-after-suspend.html
At the moment, I'm going to guess that as part of suspend the backlight has been turned off, and it is not getting turned back on during resume. If the external monitor just works, it solidifies the case for this hypothesis. I see "radeontool" as a dependency for pm-utils when VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" is set. One of the functions of radeontool is controlling the backlight.
Good luck.

Sorry for the imprecision, I use open source/radeon drivers. I tried the script suggested in the discussion you linked, without success. Also, I checked whether radeontool is installed, and it is, as a dependency of pm-utils (as you said). Tomorrow I'll try the external monitor: is it the same if I use VGA or HDMI? Thank you! |

An external monitor shouldn't matter how it's attached - the laptop screen does powersaving things. External monitors have powersaving modes too, but they're not directly tied into suspend/hibernate the way the laptop screen is. This will let you know if the problem is that the backlight isn't turning back on after resume.

When using an external monitor, the suspension seems to be succesful, however it resumes immediatly, without pressing any key. The vga monitor gets resumed, though. |

I know you have radeontool installed, but can you find where in the scripts it's getting run, or are you supposed to add a tweak to use it?
