Can anyone remember how exactly this was "fixed"? Because I have the same kind of problem on 8.04 and have for the last two years.
After every resume from sleep, the text console would be more and more corrupted, and eventually (perhaps after 5 resumes) I would have dirty black artifacts on the mouse cursor and scrolling problems under X, and the system would be unstable. If I hibernate at this stage instead of suspending, it normally restores the machine to functioning state, but wasted 5 minutes. I found by trial and error that setting SAVE_VBE_STATE=false appears to have fixed the problem for me, and also made resuming much faster as an added bonus. I gather from bug #60882 that this causes problems on Fujitsu Lifebooks, so this probably isn't a global fix, but it seems at least to apply to Thinkpad X31 and X40. ch...@rocio(~)$ grep . /var/lib/acpi-support/*-* /var/lib/acpi-support/bios-version:1QET78WW (2.15 ) /var/lib/acpi-support/system-manufacturer:IBM /var/lib/acpi-support/system-product-name:2672PEG /var/lib/acpi-support/system-version:ThinkPad X31 ch...@rocio(~)$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY -- ThinkPad X30 needs SAVE_VBE_STATE=false https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
