I am trying to get suspend, hibernate, etc. working on an IBM thinkpad 380xd. I managed to recompile a kernel with the thinkpad modules included. The problem I am having is that the laptop seems to enter supsend OK, but on resume, the display stays blank (the backlight turns on though). I can ping, telnet, etc. to the laptop, but no consoles are viewable. I am using text consoles right now, and I plan to use X "on demand" rather than on boot. I have X turned off while I try to fiure this suspend stuff out. Both Fn-F4 on the keyboard and apm --suspend seem to exhibit this problem.
BTW, I have used Linux before, but I am new to Debian. I am running the 3.0r1 stable distribution. I started with the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel. If it is helpful, here is what kernel sources I used: kernel 2.4.18 apmd 3.0.2 (from stock debian binary package--did not compile this) thinkpad-source 3.5 pcmcia-cs 3.1.33 The laptop model is 2635FAU Here are the APM options I compiled in the kernel: CONFIG_PM=y # CONFIG_ACPI is not set CONFIG_APM=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set Are there some things I should set up related to tpctl? I have used that utility to query BIOS settings from the new kernel without problems. I'm not sure if I need to modify APM mode scripts or something (like ejecting cards, etc.) because I haven't figured out how Debian handles those events. I don't know if it matters, but I turned off PCMCIA support in the kernel in order to use pcmcia-cs instead. The latter works with my SMC-8035TX ethernet card. Plus I think I need this to get a Linksys WPC11 ver 3 working as well (ala linux-wlan--I saw a HOWTO on ldp for this using pcmcia-cs). The irony is that Fn-F3 (turn off display) works fine and I can wake up the display from that with no problems. I also enabled the autoblank after timeout feature via PS2.EXe under Dos, and that seems to work OK. I enabled the latter because I noticed that the APM features of Linux would blank the display, but do not turn off the backlight. To clarify, the problems I am having are related to suspend (Fn-F4). apm --suspend seems to have the same problem. Hibernate doesn't work yet (yes, I have a hiber file on a DOs partition, but I read in the FAQ on linux-thinkpad.org that there are some other things that need to be modified first). -- Dwaine Gonyier [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
