Description of problem: When trying to restore from suspend, my Dell e1505 / MM061 (the latter code is what hal reports as "system.hardware.product"), I get a plain black screen. When in this screen, the keyboard is non-responsive - Ctrl Alt Del does nothing, and I am forced to hold down the pwr button for 5 secs to force shutdown. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.0.0-2.fc7 (I filed this bug against the X driver as a best guess.) How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Suspend laptop 2. Restore laptop 3. Stare angrily at empty black screen, be forced to perform hard shutdown Additional info: This is a regression from FC6, where it worked perfectly.
I'd probably join this report (amongst quite a few similar ones). suspend2RAM worked quite well in FC6, but after I upgraded to FC7beta4, I got black screen & dead system on resume. Now after updating my kernel to 2.6.21-1.3142.fc7 today, I cannot even suspend anymore, machine freezes after printing Suspending Console(s). Booting into 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 makes suspend usable again, of course.
Hm, component in this bug is obviously wrong, because the problem is definitely in kernel. and I clearly can reproduce without any sort of X environment running, unfortunatelly I am not allowed to change it. (also I have Dell Latitude D620 Core2Duo system, which I forgot to say earlier)
Thanks for the tip, Oleg! I've changed the bug accordingly. Also, as of 2.6.21-1.3149.fc7, I get the same problem as Oleg. I can't even suspend, much less restore - it gets stuck at "Suspending Console(s)", just as he described.
Can you try the steps at http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/ and see if you need to blaklist a module. Thanks!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, I'm just a little excited. *cough* Using the git hal-info vid quirks file for my laptop, everything works 100% with kernel-2.6.23-0.30.rc0.git6.fc8 Everything. No hacks. No blacklisting. Nothing. It just WORKS.... like in FC6. ;-) Closing, RAWHIDE
