SOLVED: Standby/resume on Eee 900

<< < (2/3) > >>

OldAdamUser2:
I have reinstalled suspend.tczl, but s2ram still doesn't work for me. What command do you invoke? Are you using an Eee 900?

When I try "s2ram -f -a 3", my machine goes into suspend, but it won't wake up with video and requires a hard reset.

jur:
I have a eeepc 1000he; and I use "sudo s2ram -f". The video card is intel 945GM. I don't see an -a option listed in the help text. Have you experimanted with the various --vbe options? I think they are meant for graphics.

s2disk looked promising but I didn't know how to make it boot from the hibernate file. It changed the swap partition. But rebooting tcl is fast so hibernate is of limited use here anyway...

jur:
Some more info: s2ram -f works for me but resumes video only if using Xorg. With Xvesa, I basically get the same as you. So it looks like you have to poke the video card or something.

OldAdamUser2:
While my standby script works on the Eee 900, it doesn't completely switch off the screen. It leaves one in a black terminal screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left-hand corner. In a dark room one can see that the back-light is still on. But dmesg shows that it does put a lot of processes on hold and it seems to shut off the wifi radio.

An equally effective (or ineffective) standby-fix for the Eee 900  is to just open a terminal and enter "xset s 6". That completely blanks the screen in 6 seconds but leaves all processes running and the wifi radio on. To restore the default xset setting, one goes to the same terminal, pushes the up-arrow once, and adds two zeros--getting "xset s 600" for normal delay beffore screen blanking.

My experiments with suspend.tce and suspend.tcz have not been successful. Both in xvesa and xorg the computer won't wake up. I've tried a variety of initiation commands, but not all of them. I suspect that with xorg and the vbe tool something could work since the suspend/resume feature works well in both Xandros and Pupeee, but I'm still trying to stick with a light-weight system and suspend isn't a big deal to me.

One interesting thing: "xset q" indicates "Server does not have the DPMS Extension." I believe that's the case in xorg as well as xvesa, so maybe that is the root of the problem.

curaga:
Xorg does support DPMS.
