Distribution: Suse Linux 9.2 Hardware Environment: Averatec 3300 laptop. Intel 855GM chipset. Software Environment: kernel 2.6.11.4-20050418133015-default Problem Description: Standby goes down fine, but when resuming there is no video. I have tried this from the console and from X and the same thing happens. Also, I have tried logging in 'blind' after resuming, but still nothing. I cannot SSH into the computer after the resume either. Steps to reproduce: Get an Averatec 3300 laptop. Put it in standby mode from linux. Resume the PC.
Any luck with: 1. BIOS upgrade. 2. X upgrade, or at least X video driver 3. workarounds in Documentation/power/video.txt?
Please reopen this bug if: - it is still present in kernel 2.6.16-rc2 and - you can answer Len's questions.
I have tried all your suggestions. Let me answer them here for you. First off, there are no available BIOS upgrades for my laptop. I tried a new video driver for this board, and had the same results. I tried all the workarounds in Documentation/power/video.txt, and still had the same results. I just downloaded, compiled and booted into 2.6.16rc2 and when I come back from S3 with that kernel I can drive, but I can't see. I booted to runlevel 3 and tried init 5 from the console after resuming and got nothing on the display either. ctrl alt 1 and init 6 rebooted though, so it's just the display. If there is anything I can do to help, or any data I can provide, let me know as I have a good test environment set up now.
Video restore on resume from S3 is a BIOS or video driver issue, not an ACPI issue. Moving to drivers/video.
