Re: [gentoo-user] suspend2 problem

[Pablasso]

it works -sometimes- but is buggy, i use it with my i915 video driver and it hangs sometimes to the point that i need to kill X and restart it, like 2 out of 3 times works well but i dont really like the idea of killing apps everytime it fails, so most of the time i disable DRI

from the suspend2 howto:

"Particularly common here are issues with USB, DRI/DRM, FireWire, cpufreq, sound card and network drivers. In the case of DRI/DRM, you can't simply disable it prior to resuming, so people (unfortunately) have to choose between 3D performance and the ability to suspend (unless you're willing to stop X prior to suspending and restart it afterwards)."

Hi Pablasso,

Perhaps I misunderstand, but suspend2 has long worked alongside 3d
acceleration. In my experience, some of the proprietary graphics drivers
(ATI's fglrx for example) do not work at all. However I use the X.org
included Radeon drivers (and standard Radeon DRI kernel model) and have
had no problems whatsoever. It could be a different story for the card
in your machine (a Rage II by the looks of it).

Cheers,


Dave.
