Hi, pm-utils maintainer here. What version of pm-utils are you using? > I have my own scripts which unload any modules required and then > invoke the kernel interface, and that works fine.

If you need to unload modules across a suspend/resume or hibernate/thaw, you can have pm-utils unload them using the SUSPEND_MODULES parameter -- just drop a file in /etc/pm/config.d with the line SUSPEND_MODULES="problematic modules", and pm-utils will unload and reload them across suspend/hibernate. Which modules are you having to unload to make things work? Also, what is the HIBERNATE_MODE environment variable? > If I wanted to change the hard wiring of gnome-power-manager to pm-utils > for my own private use, what would I need to patch - is this in > gnome-power-manager or DeviceKit-power? Hmmm... among other things, pm-utils is intended to be an abstraction layer that higher-level code can call without having to worry about whatever bizzare workarounds any given machine requires to sleep and wake back up. > Chris > _______________________________________________ > gnome-power-manager-list mailing list > gnome-power-manager-l...@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-power-manager-list _______________________________________________ Pm-utils mailing list Pm-utils@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils
