Hi, I have two debian machines running squeeze and configured (almost) identically. The laptop (Lenovo T430s) hibernates correctly, the desktop does not. My desktop has:
# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 12077024 kB ... SwapTotal: 17583104 kB The desktop has Radeon video card. # lspci -v | grep VGA 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 [Radeon HD 4250] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) I have installed the non-free firmware package. The X.log indicates that the radeon driver is being loaded. I created xorg.conf as shown below. When I try to hibernate the screen goes black and the machine does not power down. I show to X.log file behavior below after attempting to hibernate. Similarly, if I try to change virtual terminals (Ctl-Alt-#), the screen goes black and I get the same error messages that occur when I try to hibernate. I believe that when I was running Lenny, hibernate and virtual terminals both worked. (It has been a while since I upgraded so I can't be 100% certain.) I'm happy to post any info that would help, but I'm at a loss. I tried installing the ATI proprietary drivers ( http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary). With those installed neither hibernate nor switching virtual terminals C-A-F# has any effect. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks. --Len Berman # cat /sys/power/state mem disk # cat /sys/power/disk [platform] test testproc shutdown reboot # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "radeon" EndSection tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) RADEON(0): EDID (in hex): (II) RADEON(0): 00ffffffffffff004c2d7c0332325141 (II) RADEON(0): 24120103802f1e782a78f1a655489b26 (II) RADEON(0): 125054bfef80b30081808140714f0101 (II) RADEON(0): 0101010101017c2e90a0601a1e403020 (II) RADEON(0): 3600da281100001a000000fd00384b1e (II) RADEON(0): 510e000a202020202020000000fc0053 (II) RADEON(0): 796e634d61737465720a2020000000ff (II) RADEON(0): 0048394e513930323537390a202000bd (II) RADEON(0): EDID vendor "SAM", prod id 892 ------- Attempted to hibernate here ----------------------------------------------------------------- Output DIG0 transmitter setup success Blank CRTC 0 success Disable CRTC memreq 0 success Disable CRTC 0 success Blank CRTC 1 success Disable CRTC memreq 1 success Disable CRTC 1 success (II) RADEON(0): RADEONRestoreMemMapRegisters() : (II) RADEON(0): MC_FB_LOCATION : 0x00cf00c0 0x00cf00c0 (II) RADEON(0): MC_AGP_LOCATION : 0x0003ffff (EE) RADEON(0): Timeout trying to update memory controller settings !
