Hi,
Apparently this is solvable by using vbetool to save / restore the video
card state around suspending, i.e.:
=================================
# Switch to text mode screen
chvt 1
# save vbestate
vbetool vbestate save > /tmp/VBESTATE
# Actually suspend...
echo mem >/sys/power/state
# Should now be asleep, but possibly 'echo' returns before
# it has quite happened ...
sleep 1
# restore vbestate
vbetool post
vbetool vbestate restore < /tmp/VBESTATE
rm -f /tmp/VBESTATE
# Switch back to X
chvt 7
=================================
I'd be interested to know if this works - I haven't had the time to try
it out since I discovered the workaround...
Regards,
Andrew McMillan.
