With a bit more digging, it seems that for some reason, the APM emulation isn't doing the job it used to do of having X cleanup properly for suspend. It could be a bug with the recent X servers or ATI drivers, that's unclear.
However, rather than trying to fix that, the best solution is to do like x86 does with ACPI and basically use scripts to trigger a VT switch. That will be more solid anyway. The ACPI scripts are not useable as-is with /etc/power as they assume that env. variables can be set in suspend and re-used in resume. So I've hacked a pair of scripts that can be put in /etc/power/suspend.d and /etc/power/resume.d for powerpc (though they wouldn't hurt old style APM based x86 either I believe). Those are a bit on the hackish side of things but they do the job fine for me, please do something similar to fix the problem in gutsy ! - console-switch-out (in suspend.d): #!/bin/sh # And remember which console we're on fgconsole >/tmp/saved-fg-console # Change away from X, otherwise it'll blow up when we POST the video interface chvt 12 - console-switch-in (in resume.d): #!/bin/sh CONSOLE=`cat /tmp/saved-fg-console` rm /tmp/saved-fg-console chvt $CONSOLE -- [gutsy] sleep on powerbook crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
