After installing the system a week ago, I cannot seem to fix the power management/suspend issue.

Symptoms:

s2ram works well at a root console (system properly goes to sleep and properly resumes)

s2ram does not work if I run it from su root in my X11 (I run a basic X11 installation started using startx with xmonad as the window manager). The only X11 applications I use are mate-terminal and chromium.

After leaving the system with X11 session on screen for a while, it goes into a power saving mode, from which it does not emerge properly (X11 dies and leaves a frozen console window behind, and only way to do anything then is to do a hard restart with the power button).

Closing laptop lid does not invoke a suspend mode, it simply had no effect.

It does not seem to make a difference whether I run laptop_mode (as described in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Power_management/Guide) or not.

Nothing seemingly interesting in dmesg or in other logs (I didn't try digging into laptop-mode options yet).


----------
In contrast, in Arch on the same machine I have a totally working suspend: I can just close the laptop lid and it goes into sleep, and resumes normally (I ran it for 1.5 months quite a lot, it never failed).
(I don't run systemd in Gentoo, it makes it a bit harder to dig up what's wrong...)

Basically, I'm at loss as where to even start. After more than 15 years of running Linux on laptops (more than a dozen of them IIRC), it's the 1st time I have it this bad...

Thanks,
Dima

Duplicate your kernel.config,loaded modules and how you invoke that process from your ARCH installation.

I think you are missing some important kernel options. My guess: ACPI related, notebook related for your manufacturer. maybe some useflags missing.

Some kernel options are hidden and only show up when you enalbe those prerequisites.

I found out that the lid case in /etc/acpi/default.sh was simply commented out!
I added
Code:

case "$action" in
....
                        lid)
                                case "$id" in
                                      close) s2ram;;
                                      open) :;;
                                      *)uhd $*;;
                                esac;;

This at least made the machine going to sleep and wake up properly on lid close/open.

Perhaps a better way to accomplish this would be to add a script into /etc/acpi/actions/, but I have
no idea what and how.

Why lid case was commented out in the 1st place, I don't know. Perhaps cause it interfers with other, more usual, x11 setups? [/code]

It seems it's down to DPMS not working properly.
Namely, the crash I describe is also triggered by running in xterm
the following:

xset dpms force off

I don't know how to fix it (short of disabling DPMS).

The problem went away after doing a full update (emerge ... @world) of the system just before the New Year.
