hibernate-ram under console: screen stays black on resuming

[bilbotux]

Hi

I'm trying to configure suspend2-ram on my Dell XPSM1330 laptop, but I have a non usual problem
The videocard is an nvidia one (8400m GS), and I'm using the nvidia's official driver.

When I do hibernate-ram from X, it worked fine in suspending and resuming the session.
But if I do it under console, then everything seems to happen correctly, but at resume, the screen stays black. However, the computer is still working fine, and I can ssh to it. Then, if I run startX, the screen turns on and everything is ok.
I have looked in /proc/acpi/*, but found nothing relevant to turn on the screen.

So, my question is: does anyone know how to resolve it? Is there a soft that would allow me to turn on the screen; or maybe an option in hibernate or anything else ??

Thanks,

Have you tried enabling vbetool in suspend2's config? It's supposed to help with video problems.

Btw, you'll need to emerge sys-apps/vbetool

Yes, I enabled following in /etc/hibernate/common.conf

Code: Select all

EnableVbetool yes
RestoreVbeStateFrom /var/lib/vbetool/vbestate
VbetoolPost tes
RestoreVCSAData yes

and in /etc/hibernate/ram.conf

Code: Select all

EnableVbetool yes
VbetoolPost yes

but still the same issue.

Curiously enough, I've been having the same issue. I was just assuming it was a crash instead of just the screen not working.

If I suspend to RAM while on a tty, when it powers on the screen remains black, but I'm still able to "init 0". I can't, however, start X. At that point, it does crash.

Any input, anyone?

Did you try merging app-laptop/radeontool and "RadeonTool yes" to conf?
