I am trying to resume an AMD64 laptop from Suspend to RAM, and the laptop seems to wake up fine (I can type commands and they get executed), but the LCD stays black. So I read about the various options to reinitialize the VGA, which were: 1. kernel boot options: acpi=s3_sleep, acpi=s3_mode, pci=routeirq. I tried each one of them, LCD still stays black. 2. Using the vbetool to save/restore the state of the VGA.
Here is the problem: I didn't find vbetool in the AMD64 repositories, so I forced the i386 package into installation (I met its dependencies by installing some ia32-libs-stuff and copying the rest over from my chroot into /emul/ia32-linux/). It does run, and the "vgastate off" option does disable the LCD. But saving and restoring the state, I get the following error: # vbetool vbestate save > /tmp/save Can't get video state buffer size (vm86 failure) Get video state buffer size failed Can't save video state (vm86 failure) Save video state failed So I guess, there is some reason, that this program does not work on 64bit machines. Is there a workaround or any other idea, how I can get my display back alive? Thanks, Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
