Take a look at it. Hi Camaleon, Thanks for your response, I just resolved this issue last night by installing the proprietary drivers from nvidia. It now wakes up from sleeping fine as it should. Nice to see you've solved it. In fact, the VGA driver is usually one of the most problematic components for suspending/hibernating smoothly or when resuming but there are some hacks you can try (such as blacklisting the driver involved to avoid it gets suspended/hibernated) but well, if using the nvidia driver removes the problem and you're happy with it, fine then :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi all, I have recently built Debian 6 squeeze on my Toshiba Satellite P200 laptop, Everything runs great on it except the sleep or hibernate function I have setup the power options so that when the lid is shut it goes to sleep, when i open up the lid i can see the screen and HDD's spin up but the screen remains black. Its backlit but off,i cant get a logon screen to enter my password. I have to hold the power and cycle and start again. A little annoying if i'm trying to work on something and need to come back later. Doesnt really work. Anyone troubleshooted an issue like this before? Where can i start? Wanting to try anything o fix it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks ;)
