Description Brian G. Anderson 2007-10-27 13:58:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have a Dell Lattitude D620 with an Nvidia card.  I'm running Fc8t3 updated to
latest development.  First of all suspend has disappeared from the power applet.
 There is still pm-suspend which seems to suspend the machine fine.  However,
upon resume the machine is active but the screen is blank.  I can ssh into the
machine, but cannot get the screen active.  When I kill the X session the system
hangs.  I can't find anything relevant in the logs.

I'm using the "nv" driver.

Suspend used to work fine up until about 5 days ago.  So much has been changing
I can't tell if it was a kernel, pm-utils, or X change.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel  2.6.23.1-35.fc8
pm-utils-0.99.4-6.fc8

How reproducible:
every attempt at resume

I tried "setenforce 0" and I tried stopping X first. Still blank screen.  Also
when I stopped X and suspend/resume then I couldn't ssh into the system either.

Did suspend/resume *ever* work on your system in rawhide? We've disabled suspend
on machines with nvidia video because of bugs in the nv driver that prevent it
from resuming properly.

Comment 4 Brian G. Anderson 2007-10-28 23:42:11 UTC 
Actually, suspend/resume is very reliable on my D620 using the NV driver.  It
was the nvidia driver that always gave me problems.  I have recently found out
that I need to add ALLOW_NV_SUSPEND="yes" to a file in /etc/pm/config.d to
reenable suspend for nv graphics.  I've done this and suspend/resume works again.

The confusing thing is that without this special kung-fu move, pm-suspend does
do a suspend, but doesn't resume properly.  Shouldn't pm-suspend be disabled too
with some kind of warning message?

Afaik pm-suspend is not intended to be run directly except for testing purposes.

echo 'ALLOW_NV_SUSPEND="yes"' >> /etc/pm/config.d/00-allow-nv-suspend

help you?

Oh, my comment #5 was incomplete. The "help you?" should read "Does this help you?".
Comment 7 Till Maas 2008-03-05 15:21:00 UTC 
This bug cannot be fixed without having more information (see comment #5).
