Hi,
This might have been posted before, but I couldn't find it in the
archives...
I'm having trouble getting apm to work on my laptop. apm -s (suspend)
works (although slightly differently than Windows), and when I resume, the
following occurs:
* the display remains blank
* the network is down
* the system responds to the keyboard
By restarting the interface, I can get the network to respond, so I am
able to ssh in from another machine and take a look. I can manually activate the
backlight, but the screen is displaying patches of multicoloured vertical bars.
It seems that I can make a particular device work by resetting it (pcmcia,
sound, etc.,) but I have not found a way to reset the display.
BTW, I am suspending from the console.
I've played with the different kernel options for the apm module, but
they seem to be geared toward working around a machine that totally hangs; in
any case, I have had no luck changing these settings.
------------
# uname -r
2.4.5-586 (this is the debian kernel-image-2.4.5-586 package)
------------
apm options:
CONFIG_APM=m
CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set
Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem? I can provide more
information on the system, if needed.
