I've got a Dell XPS M1330 (with nvidia graphics) installed with 2008.11 and updated to build 106 recently. Behaviour of suspend/resume has been the same since original install.
The behaviour is odd: - add S3 enable to /etc/pmconfig, no problems - 'uadmin 3 20' once, laptop suspends properly with the pulsing sleep LED. - hit power button to resume, get Dell BIOS password screen, enter password, resumes fine - 'uadmin 3 20' 2nd time, laptop suspends properly again with pulsing sleep LED - hit power button to resume, NO BIOS password screen, but laptop resumes-ish The lack of the BIOS password screen suggests something got missed suspending, it's always meant to come up after resuming. At this stage odd things start happening like unresponsive windows, hanging commands (eg prstat), fans spinning wildly. For the several times I've tried, it's always ended with a forced power off (4s on the power button). So ... one suspend/resume cycle seems OK, multiple suspend/resume seems broken. Any suggestions on how to start debugging this? I'm happy to be treated as a terminal (ie, type this, display this, expect this, etc). Note: It's primarily a Linux box, where suspend/resume works as expected. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
