You didn't read the entire post. The *DEFAULT* result of 'VGA=6' in /etc/lilo.conf gives an 8x8 font which results in an 80x60 display. *IN ADDITION* I set 'CONSOLEFONT="lat1-10"' in /etc/conf.d/consolefont, which gives me an 80x48 row display, using 8x10 font, which is *MUCH* nicer than 8x8 font. The reason I do 'VGA=6' in /etc/lilo.conf is because that is a quick-n-dirty way to kick the display into a 480 scanline mode, instead of the default 400 scanline mode. It's a lot safer and easier than screwing around with SVGATextmode (is it still around?). Anyhow, upon resuming from hibernation, Gentoo remembers the 480 scanline mode, but does not remember the non-default font, which is why I have to reset the font via the OnResume option. -- Walter Dnes

You have a setting in lilo.conf that makes your font unreadable? Then why do you have that in lilo.conf? -- Iain Buchanan Nirvana?

I find that for some reason sshd doesn't restart on resume. I tested it 2 minutes ago... - ssh from my laptop... OK - disconnect - comment out the OnResume statement - hibernate the desktop - resume the desktop - ssh from my laptop... Connection refused - manually enter "/etc/init.d/sshd restart" (as root) - ssh from my laptop... OK - and remember to uncomment the OnResume For that matter, the console font setting is forgotten as well. I have VGA=6 in lilo.conf (probably works in GRUB as well), which defaults to an unreadable 80 columns x 60 rows display. This is done by selecting the 640 pixels by 480 scanlines mode, and the 8-pixel high font. 480 / 8 = 60 rows. Selecting 10-pixel high font gets 480 / 10 = 48 rows (YES!). And thanks to the extra pixels, the font is *MUCH* nicer than standard 80 x 50 (using 8-pixel high font with 400 scanlines). No 2 ways about it, 10-pixel high font beats out 8-pixel high font on a text console every time. -- Walter Dnes

Re: [gentoo-user] Resuming after hibernate
Why do you need anything in the kernel commandlindline? Everything is done either in the kernel config or in hibernate.conf. "make menuconfig" on my machine goes like so... = Power management and ACPI options ---> [*] Power Management support [ ] Power Management Debug Support [ ] Suspend to RAM and standby [*] Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk') (/dev/sda6) Default resume partition = Your system should have /dev/sda5. I ran "emerge hibernate-script" and then executed "rc-update add hibernate-cleanup boot" so that when the machine comes up from "reboot" or "halt -p", it doesn't try to load the swap file as memory state. Here are the uncommented lines in my hibernate.conf. The last 4 lines are specific to my machine, and may not apply to yours. It works great for me.
