I just tried swsusp2.1 with kernel 2.6.9-gentoo-r1, and I was excited when it worked perfectly on my first test. However, it only worked because this was my first boot with the new kernel, and since I hadn't re-emerged the nvidia drivers for it, X didn't load. So, without X, it works great. However, when hibernating within X (or even from a console, with X loaded), upon resuming it freezes at seemingly random points while restoring the image. For reference, I'm running a Toshiba 5105-S701 laptop. Also, in case this makes a difference, I compiled in the LZF compression option. I'll look more into this problem later. If any of you have any ideas, I've love to hear from you, though.

I have the same problem.
UPDATE: Never mind. I hadn't set CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND_ACPI in the kernel config. It works like a charm now!  |

What a damn thing. Sometimes after resuming my Mousepointer (touchpad of my notebook) is b0rked, which means, it doesn't work at all or has no acceleration, which means it is painful slow.
My Touchpad is originally a glidepoint alps and I patched the kernel to have synaptic-functions. Has anyone noticed this yet? |

Hi gang. I'm pretty newbie-like and a bit confused about this. So, simple question....do I need it?
I've got an IBM t30 laptop running a 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 kernel. I've configured ACPI to be on and I've emerged ibm-acpi.
Battery stuff appears fine with ACPI but suspend/standby via klaptop doesn't work.
I thought enabling ACPI in the kernel was enough to do this but now I find this patch/software. What's the difference? Do I need it to be able to suspend/hibernate?
This newb is in dire need of explanation.
Thanks for the help. |

|
|
The kernel configuration for 2.6.9-r1 contains two options for software suspend: CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND and CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION. Can anyone clarify the level of integration of swsusp this indicates?
If I want to use suspend/hibarnate functions on my ThinkPad A22P, do I still need to install the separate swsusp2 package? If so, is it still necessary to patch the kernel from that package? How much of the HOWTO that began this thread is still valid for 2.6.9?
Thanks for the clarification. |

I've gotten suspend to work with Nvidia drivers (I have a GeForce 4 on my box, which usually just gives a black screen on resume) while running X, thanks to a patch I found from the nvnews forums.
Basically the patch just changes the expected behaviour of the nvidia module after resuming from a suspended mode. I posted my instructions in another thread. Please check it out and tell if it worked for you too.

| Quote: | Applying 201-ati-agp ...
Applying 202-ne2k ...

Reversing patches...
Reversing 202-ne2k

It is probably because you are using patch for a different version of kernel. |

Yes. But where do I find patches for my 2.6.8 kernel. I can only download patches for 2.6.9 kernels.
THX!

you can use the nitro Patch. They have integradet the software suspend patch and a lot of other patches.
Yes, you must upgrade to kernel 2.6.9 |

Sorry about being unclear about this.
There are different swsusp-systems:
1) The one that is built into the kernel (swsusp*1*)
2) The one you get with patching the kernel (swsusp*2*)
After patching the kernel as decribed in this howto (a tiny bit outdated), you get 2 entries for swsusp:
| Code: | Power management options (ACPI, APM) --->
[ ] Software Suspend (EXPERIMENTAL)
Software Suspend 2 ---> |
"Software Suspend" is the the older implementation (swsusp*1*) whereas "Software Suspend 2" offers many more options (two image compression algorithms, etc.) Also, it will most likely work much better (it has been *extremely* stable for me for many months now).
So, do you need swsusp*2*? It depends... if the basic features of the swsusp in the current kernel are sufficient and if it works for your machine, I guess swsusp1 should be ok for you.
swsusp2 will be included in the kernel one day, I hope. I read that the kernel maintainers think it's too big a patchset to include at once, they would rather like to have small patches coming in from time to time, as they're much easier to review.
I hope this made things clearer. |

Ok, people, really some news:
As I've not been able to keep up with changes of how swsusp2 is installed, I put this howto up at the gentoo wiki.
Find it here:
HOWTO Software Suspend v2 at the gentoo wiki
Please go on discussing and asking questions here, the gentoo wiki discussion board is not too comfortable. I also changed a lot of stuff, the version at the wiki may be called up to date right now.
Looking forward to seeing you contribute to the howto at the wiki 
I would like to erase the howto in first post in this thread as I think it could confuse users - it's just too old. What do you all think about that? |

Thanks. Has anybody tried this? This is different than the original hibernation script from the swsusp2 homepage. Supposedly this also does suspend-to-ram... |

I'm using 2.6.9 with swsusp2 2.1.3 and fbsplash. splash is working fine, swsusp2 is working fine, but there is no co-operation of them!
I had no success to get swsusp2 to co-operate with fbsplash. The 'bootsplash' scriptlet it's not compatible with fbslash. If you get them work together, just share your experience with us... |

Hi
The hibernation script from portage works very well. Although, the configuration file must be edited in order to suspend to disk.
I tried to suspend to mem, but my laptop freeses after waking up. It keeps the blank screen, and the cooling fan starts to work very noisly.
I also tried standby, but, instead of continuing what I was doing, my laptop reboots after waking up (entering runlevel 0...)
I did these 2 test echoing to /sys/power/state
Is there anything I can do to change this behavior? |

My machine (acer tm 800) does exactly the same thing as yours.
I think the results of trying suspend-to-ram (and/or standby) are very machine dependent. I.e. you should try to find someone with the same machine that you have it who succeeded.
Sometimes it supposedly helps to fix a broken acpi dsdt. If you're lucky, someone has already done it for your machine, and you can find a fixed dsdt at http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php . You can load it whenever you recompile your kernel; it's easy.

thanks for this howto
I have a Dell 700M, and suspend is now working well, however a have a little problem (not a major one, but thought I'd ask!)
When I resume from a suspended state back to X, the screen is there, but blank.
I have to go to another terminal (ie ctrl + alt + f1) and back to X and then it draws everything on my screen.
anyone else with the same issue?
cheers and thanks again!
edit: also, perhaps you can add to the wiki the way to use multiple grub config files?
It's really easy and saves you having to choose to resume a suspended state when you boot up. (I used to have two grub entries, one for normal boot and one for resuming a suspend).
Just mount /boot and make a copy of your grub.conf and call it grub.conf.resume
make sure it has the resume information on the kernel line ie
| Code: | | resume2=swap:/dev/YOURSWAP |
now in your regular grub file you don't need any suspending information, but I suggest that on your kernel line you have | Code: | | "resume2=swap:/dev/YOURSWAP noresume2" |
Now save those files under /boot/grub/ and edit your /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf:
| Code: | ### grub
ChangeGrubMenu yes
GrubMenuFile /boot/grub/grub.conf
AlternateGrubMenuFile /boot/grub/grub.conf.resume
|
Last but not least, to use this, /boot needs to be mounted on bootup (which is not the gentoo default). So edit your /etc/fstab file to
| Code: | | /dev/hdX /boot ext3 noatime 0 0 |
replacing of course your /boot device and filesystem.
Now boot will be loaded automatically at startup, and unmounted at shutdown.
When you suspend your machine, hibernate will automatically swap the grub configs for you, and when you reboot you will only have the option to resume!
This is very handy so you don't have to choose to resume, and you won't forget to. Just turn your laptop on and walk away, and it will resume if you had suspended, or boot normally if you hadn't.
If someone has already doco'd this somewhere I apologise.
Cheers!

I just got 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 working with swsusp2. It's working pretty good, I am only experiencing one issue: my X-Server doesn't recognize my keyboard any more after a resume. As it is a laptop I am having trouble with, I suspect it is a PS/2-related issue. Strangely, my synaptics touchpad works flawlessly... Having said that, a USB keyboard works as well...
UPDATE: Having switched from xfree to xorg, it now works like a champ without any changes!  |

What resolution do you use? If I use 1024x768, hibernate+resume works without the problem you mentioned, but if I use 1280x800 (with the 855 resolution patch), X will crash when resuming.

I hadn't heard of this before, interesting. Although I don't quite understand the way you use it: If you boot normally (without resuming) you can still give the "resume2=swap:/dev/swap" option to your kernel. swsusp2 will detect if there is an image in swap, if there isn't, it will boot normally.
But what several grub configs could make sense for is when you have entries in your grub that would mount the root partition used by your suspended system and therefore could destroy data... So when resuming, grub should not offer these (possibly harmful) options.
E.g. I have gentoo and debian on my machine, both auto-mounting the other's root fs, as /mnt/gentoo_root or /mnt/debian_root, respectively. If I suspend my gentoo, I need to make sure I don't boot up debian, because it will try to mount gentoo's suspended root filesystem, which could damage it. So in this case, swapping grub configs could make sense in order to remove my debian entry. My windows entry should stay though.
Or what do you all think?
I will play with this
