Hi, I just upgraded from XFree 3.3.6 to 4.1 on my laptop which has a Ati Rage Mobility chip. On 3.3.6, suspend and awake worked fine by making the apmd switching to a text console before suspending, using the chvt command in the apmd proxy. I'm working with SuSE which uses a apmd_proxy script which is called from apmd and does all this stuff.
Now, with XFree 4.1, it doesn't work anymore. When I try to suspend from X, the screen seems to switch to a console, because it goes black, but half a second later it switches back to X and then suspends! Just as if there was another "chvt 7" called just before the suspension. I traced the apmd proxy script to make sure that the "chvt 1" is indeed executed, but I could not find any hint about another chvt which switches back to X. Neither kernel (2.2.19) nor apmd (3.0) have changed, just X, so I guess it's a problem with X. I've found some messages in newsgroups describing the same problem, but no solution. I also traced the xpert and newbie list archives back to Jan 2000, but found nothing about this topic (only recommendations to let apmd switch vt, which my apmd obviously does...) Does anyone have an idea what to do? Anything else works just fine with XFree 4.1... Best regards, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lehrstuhl f.
