Hi Julien For that, you need to follow the steps on the following link:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3670 First what you need, is to make sure the machine actually wakes up, except no video. You can try SSH-ing to the box, etc. When you established that the machine actually wakes up, via ssh you need to run the script that you will find under the mentioned link. It is called video_post After that still didnt wake my video up, I did an "lsmod" and I saw that my video driver was unloaded by the suspend. So I did a "modprobe i830" which is what I need for the Intel driver, and then ran the script "/root/enu/video_post" And it woke right up. Note, that it was done from console and while X wakes up as well, the screen is full of jumbled signs, and letters, so it wont make sense to wake up into X. But there is a kernel patch to fix that under the same site, just I have no time now. I will post back witha detailed message when I figured everything out. Here is how I do the sleep - resume I made a script under /sbin/suspendtest and put the following in echo "mem" > /sys/power/state #--> It goes to suspend modprobe i830 #---> load my video driver /root/enu/video_post #---> wake video up And then, simply I chmod 755 it, so that its executable, and run "suspendtest" And it goes to sleep. When I close the lid, and reopen it (its the trigger on this laptop), the laptop wakes up into console.
