By the way i got a little question regarding ACPI. Does any one is looking for this issue (i guess it is a drm issue) ? Maybe it is a part of the on going work of drm restructuration.
What ACPI issue ? If you mean that you can't suspend, this is because the video card loses its state so completely that it probably needs video bios to reboot itself.
there are a lot of acpi issues to sort out:
- suspend/resume support for the drm - suspend/resume support for agpgart - acpi event handling by the DDX - lid events - fn-f* key combos to change outputs and modes (the DDX needs to re-validate outputs and modes when an acpi event comes in) - fn-f* key combos to change brighness, etc. - acpi power states (putting the chip into various sleep states)
the problem is that the current DDX doesn't have an infrastructure to to receive, much less handle acpi events. there is also no method for dynamically reconfiguring outputs or modes. I'm not sure how much can be done in userspace and how much needs kernel support.
I see.. Thank you for the explanation :)
I used to just configure acpi script to force switch to a text console before suspending and switch back X console on resume. This worked great until the new notebook that does not initialize the card properly.
