I was in a bit of a rush as I was finishing up the bug report, so I forgot to add some extra info:
The Dell C400 uses an i830 chip. I invoke suspend on this laptop using s2ram -f -p -s Any other combination of options fails altogether. This is similar to what others have seen http://osdir.com/ml/linux.kernel.suspend.devel/2006-12/msg00163.html I have to use an ubuntu compiled kernel, they must have an extra critical kernel patch. When the colors go bad, there is nothing I can do about it save rebooting. Switching to console doesn't help. Restarting kdm doesn't help. Sometimes s2ram DOES work okay. It seems that the longer X has been running, the better. If I try to suspend right after logging in (a common testing situation), it always fails. If I've been doing other stuff for a while, it may work. Could it be a video memory allocation issue? Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
