For most -devices, this is easy, and kernel driver knows how to do -it. Unfortunately there's one exception: video card. Those are usually -initialized by BIOS, and kernel does not have enough information to -boot video card. (Kernel usually does not even contain video card -driver -- vesafb and vgacon are widely used). - -This is not problem for swsusp, because during swsusp resume, BIOS is -run normally so video card is normally initialized. It should not be -problem for S1 standby, because hardware should retain its state over -that. - -We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it -using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is necessary on particular -system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different -methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of -them. - -Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long -whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a -given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at -www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the -whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist -entry so that work does not need to be repeated. - -Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most -systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed, -so it makes debugging of early resume problems -hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable. - -Details -~~~~~~~ - -There are a few types of systems where video works after S3 resume: - -(1) systems where video state is preserved over S3. - -(2) systems where it is possible to call the video BIOS during S3 - resume. Unfortunately, it is not correct to call the video BIOS at - that point, but it happens to work on some machines. Use - acpi_sleep=s3_bios. - -(3) systems that initialize video card into vga text mode and where - the BIOS works well enough to be able to set video mode. Use - acpi_sleep=s3_mode on these. - -(4) on some systems s3_bios kicks video into text mode, and - acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode is needed. - -(5) radeon systems, where X can soft-boot your video card. You'll need - a new enough X, and a plain text console (no vesafb or radeonfb). See - http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/linux/tm800s3/s3.html for more information. - Alternatively, you should use vbetool (6) instead. - -(6) other radeon systems, where vbetool is enough to bring system back - to life. It needs text console to be working. Do vbetool vbestate - save > /tmp/delme; echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep; vbetool post; vbetool - vbestate restore < /tmp/delme; setfont <whatever>, and your video - should work. - -(7) on some systems, it is possible to boot most of kernel, and then - POSTing bios works. Ole Rohne has patch to do just that at - http://dev.gentoo.org/~marineam/patch-radeonfb-2.6.11-rc2-mm2. - -(8) on some systems, you can use the video_post utility and or - do echo 3 > /sys/power/state && /usr/sbin/video_post - which will - initialize the display in console mode. If you are in X, you can switch - to a virtual terminal and back to X using CTRL+ALT+F1 - CTRL+ALT+F7 to get - the display working in graphical mode again. - -Now, if you pass acpi_sleep=something, and it does not work with your -bios, you'll get a hard crash during resume. Be careful. Also it is -safest to do your experiments with plain old VGA console. The vesafb -and radeonfb (etc) drivers have a tendency to crash the machine during -resume. - -You may have a system where none of above works. At that point you -either invent another ugly hack that works, or write proper driver for -your video card (good luck getting docs :-(). Maybe suspending from X -(proper X, knowing your hardware, not XF68_FBcon) might have better -chance of working. - -Table of known working notebooks: - -Model hack (or "how to do it") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Acer Aspire 1406LC ole's late BIOS init (7), turn off DRI -Acer TM 230 s3_bios (2) -Acer TM 242FX vbetool (6) -Acer TM C110 video_post (8) -Acer TM C300 vga=normal (only suspend on console, not in X), vbetool (6) or video_post (8) -Acer TM 4052LCi s3_bios (2) -Acer TM 636Lci s3_bios,s3_mode (4) -Acer TM 650 (Radeon M7) vga=normal plus boot-radeon (5) gets text console back -Acer TM 660 ???
