Here are more or less explained steps I followed to suspend my inspiron 510m.

The expected behaviour of swsusp2 is write to swap and then shut down the machine. I am not sure if you can let it sleeping, as in RAM suspend.

Re: ACPI suspend Dell 700m 2.6.9 kernel, wont wake up?
the same problem is with my dell inspiron 5150: It doesn't really wake up probably because of the NVIDIA Graphics chipc (fx5200go) Any Idea how to wake it up?

Re: ACPI suspend Dell 700m 2.6.9 kernel, wont wake up?
Hi Julien For that, you need to follow the steps on the following link: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3670 First what you need, is to make sure the machine actually wakes up, except no video. You can try SSH-ing to the box, etc. When you established that the machine actually wakes up, via ssh you need to run the script that you will find under the mentioned link. It is called video_post After that still didnt wake my video up, I did an "lsmod" and I saw that my video driver was unloaded by the suspend. So I did a "modprobe i830" which is what I need for the Intel driver, and then ran the script "/root/enu/video_post" And it woke right up. Note, that it was done from console and while X wakes up as well, the screen is full of jumbled signs, and letters, so it wont make sense to wake up into X. But there is a kernel patch to fix that under the same site, just I have no time now. I will post back witha detailed message when I figured everything out. Here is how I do the sleep - resume I made a script under /sbin/suspendtest and put the following in echo "mem" > /sys/power/state #--> It goes to suspend modprobe i830 #---> load my video driver /root/enu/video_post#---> wake video up And then, simply I chmod 755 it, so that its executable, and run "suspendtest" And it goes to sleep. When I close the lid, and reopen it (its the trigger on this laptop), the laptop wakes up into console.

Re: ACPI suspend Dell 700m 2.6.9 kernel, wont wake up?
CORRECTION OF EARLIER POST Sorry Julien Here is a little correction of the script. The folder the video_post is in, is not enu but emu echo "mem" > /sys/power/state #--> It goes to suspend modprobe i830 #---> load my video driver /root/emu/video_post #---> wake video up So this is what you will run, provided that you installed the script under /root folder. This is default by the writer of the script, so I did not change it. Also, read the README file that comes with the script, and also dont get surprised, but when you download the script, it is a "attachment.cgi" file, but you can treat it as a regular archive. This got me puzzled there for a while. Just download it, unpack it, and run "make" and you are all set indeed. If you should encounter any further problems, please post here.

Re: toshiba m30x-131 with 1280x800
Hi Sure, I use it already, it can get done. But you need to run a script every time you boot. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/apoirier/ Here is the patch, and how to use it. I personally made a script called "resolutionfix" and put it in /etc/init.d/ and made it executable. I then ran "rcconfig" in which I can select the resolutionfix package to be run every time the computer boots. Then, go into /etc/rc2.d/ and make sure the resolutionfix script runs before your X session manager like GDM KDM XDM, if you have any. Then, your problem is solved. Of course, you need to follow what Alain has in his README files. You need to put also a line in your XF86Config-4 file. If you have trouble, I will boot my machine and give you my config file, so you can copy.

Custom DSDT--The Debian Way?
Hello all, The DSDT on my Dell Inspiron 300m seems buggy--KDE tells me I "appear to have a partial ACPI installantion," and I get a bunch of ACPI errors on bootup. I'd like to try to edit the DSDT (or use one from acpi.sourceforge.net). But there are a bunch of different methods listed at the ACPI project: A kernel patch that statically links the custom DSDT in, another patch that allows the kernel to load a custom DSDT in an initrd. (N.B.: These patches appear to be against a vanilla kernel...) So what's The Debian Way to do it? What do other folks do? Thanks, R. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.

Re: toshiba m30x-131 with 1280x800
Hi Sorry, completely my fault. I forgot to ask what chipset you have. This is only for the Intel 855, and not your ATI.
