hi everyone i'm new to openindiana and try to get S3 working on my old p5b deluxe/core 2 duo system. although it has an ati card (4550, but i also testet with an nvdia 8800 gts), after some hours of trial-and-error and reading i got it working in single-user-mode. thinking it mitght be a problem with xorg i installed the server-version, but the problem is the same: the system enters supsend-to-ram just fine, but on resume i get an empty screen with blinking cursor, while in single user mode after some seconds i have a working terminal.
so far i have done: 1.i checked in /etc/power.conf that there was a line 'S3-support enable' like mentioned here: http://blogs.oracle.com/randyf/entry/solaris_suspend_and_resume_how 2.to test S3, i activate suspend for the ati card: 'echo 'vgatext_force_suspend/W1;' | mdb -wk' 3. after 2., i run /usr/sbin/pmconfig (not sure if necessary) after normal startup, if i execute these 3 steps and then 'uadmin 3 20', the system goes in suspend but does not resume correctly. but if i boot into single user mode as described here http://www.ilkda.com/wordpress/2010/12/28/oracle-solaris-11-express-boot-to-single-user-mode-and-mount-a-home-directory/ the system suspends and resumes just fine. maybe someone could tell me the differences between normal boot and single user boot, so i can try to eliminate what prevents S3 from working. or does someone have a better idea what i could try? thanks in advance for any help _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
