It works with 's2ram -f -p' with one glitch: hwcursor disappears from
X. It works, as you can see different objects highlighted in desktop
while you move your mouse around and can interact with them, but the
cursor image is not displayed after resuming. If I restart X I get the
cursor again.
Yes, the i810 X driver has some other problems with suspend to RAM. For me
this happens only sometimes and then often a second suspend to RAM (or
sometimes only a suspend to disk, with power-cycling the graphics chip)
fixes it. This is however a problem of the X driver IMO.
Okay, that is good enough for whitelist. Stefan?
Yes, added locally here.
With 's2disk' I can also resume, but I get resolution of 1024x768, in
which it is my desktop at virtual resolution of 1400x1050 (I have to use
915resolution at boot to get my video BIOS patched to get it working).
Yep, you should not be patching video BIOS in the first place. Can you
ask Intel to fix their BIOS instead?
Intel cannot do much here, they push pretty hard on the BIOS writers to
include correct tables, but, cite sometimes they just don't listen.
But it is just a user error. Because if you patched your BIOS in RAM before
suspend, you need to patch it after resume, before switching back to X.
So you basically want to:
VT=$(fgconsole)
chvt 1
s2disk
$RUN_YOUR_BIOS_PATCH_TOOL
chvt $VT
in your suspend script
Using -a swith in any form makes computer to start from scratch,
instead of resuming.
That's quite normal on Dells.
Any idea on how can I fix those two things are welcomed.
I blame X for missing cursor; they should reinit the hardware on
console switch.
Yes. Maybe just switching off the hardware cursor works around this.
