I have finally got some acpi sleep states working on my desktop box (thanks everyone!), but not all the way I would like.
The box has an asus p4p800-se motherboard and a hyperthreading p4 processor. Hyperthreading is enabled in the kernel (which is why it was hard to find out how to get sleep enabled in the kernel config). 'echo standby > /sys/power/state' works fine. 'echo disk > /sys/power/state' doesn't, but I'm not worried for now. swsusp2 conflicts (or used to) with reiser4 (which I use) and the original swsusp is known to have problems. 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' is what is frustrating. It goes to sleep alright, but I can't wake it up. The only thing that does anything is the power button, and what that does is send the system into shutdown. If the sleep state is initiated from a console, the screen remains black during the brief reawakening. If the sleep state is initiated from the X server then I get some kind of funny pattern on the screen of the kind that says that the video card is confused. This last one is the sleep state I most want to use, so any help getting it to work properly would be much appreciated. many thanks Robert -- Robert Persson Conspiracy Bears: Once upon a time there were lots of conspiracy bears... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
