I believe it's an option included in the 2.6.x. kernels (which are in the tree) under the power management related options.

I can't get access to this script...
I got it working but when I resume, Xfree is hanging and I have to kill it..

I think in 2.6, at least with the swsusp version that's in there, you don't need a script. To suspend:
| Code: |
echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep |
The information about setting a resume partition etc. still applies, but other than that, I don't think you need any other software. Currently with 2.6 test9, I can suspend from X with just the command above, and resume as well. Note this is the first kernel (test9) that I have been able to resume at all, but once it started working, everything worked =D

hi folks..
still a few months later..
I am running gentoo-dev-sources (kernel 2.6.5) on my laptop and the
echo "4" > /proc/acpi/sleep
method works very well .. except for one thing: I'd like to have Gentoo ask me for a password when resuming from standby.
As I am normally only logged on to X, starting a screensaver before going to sleep would suffice. Does anyone know an elegant solution to achieve this?
thanks in advance |

There's not much elegance in anything done with swsusp or acpi suspend right, so no. I'm sure there's a hackwish way to do it though.

OK 
So, does anyone know is it possible to have the kernel, the acpid or anything have a script executed that triggers a "lock display" on all X displays before hibernate? |

In case anyone is interested
I just found out that the "hibernate" script from http://swsusp.sourceforge.net
supports the ACPI suspend method (i.e. echo "4" > /proc/acpi/4), and it can also execute any program before hibernating. I use the following script configuration options:
| Code: |
SWSUSP_FORCE_SUSPEND_MODE="acpi"
SWSUSP_START_PROGS_BEFORE_SUSPEND="/root/dcopscr"
|
Where /root/dcopscr is the following:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
dcop --all-users --all-sessions kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
|
This way, all running kde sessions will be locked before suspending, when resuming from suspend a password must be supplied. Moreover, I have instructed the acpid to run the hibernate script on power button events. So a user can simply push the power button to hibernate and must give his/her password when resuming.
Disadvantage: Works only with kde sessions |

Very cool and very clever. Do you know how to do something similar with GNOME?

If you use the hibernate script, it has a section in the configuration file to activate either KDELock, XLock, or XScreenSaver. XLock is probably what you want. Get that script from the software suspend homepage. |
