Some information to breathing led: 1. There is a patent on this behaviour (i.e. http://www.google.com/patents/US6658577), and some may not want to implement it.
2. It is usually implement by EC by detecting hardware pins. For example, SLP_S3#, SLP_S4# and perhaps others: ========================================================== S3 Sleep Control: SLP_S3# is for power plane control.. This signal shuts off power to all non-critical systems when in S3 (Suspend To RAM), S4 (Suspend to Disk), or S5 (Soft Off) states. S4 Sleep Control: SLP_S4# is for power plane control. This signal shuts power to all non-critical systems when in the S4 (Suspend to Disk) or S5 (Soft Off) state. ========================================================== The above pins are not controlled by software at all and they will change according when the system (ex. chipset) is put to s3 and s4. The questions we need to ask ODM are 1. whether they implement the breathing led, 2. whether EC is used to detect pins, 3. what other software method to control it, if any. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219687 Title: [Dell XPS 13 L322X] LED won't blink during suspend. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: CID: 201209-11840 Dell XPS 13 According to serval video clips on youtube, the power LED should blink during suspend. But it didn't blink on this system during suspend.
