After reading through the HAL specification, I noticed that there already is a way to instruct HAL not to pass VBE related options to the pm-utils. It can be done by setting the following properties to false:
sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer --key power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore --bool false sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer --key power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore --bool false sudo hal-set-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer --key power_management.quirk.vbe_post --bool false This solved my power management issues in conjuction with the binary Nvidia driver. I should have RTFM more carefully. Sorry for creating noise on the bug tracker. -- On suspend, HAL passes VBE related quirk options to pmtools which crashes the proprietary NVidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196750 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
