When I close my laptop's lid, it seems to go into sleep mode (the power LED stay on solid and the screen goes blank). If I press anything (keyboard, mouse, etc.) it stays black. I'm using F9 with latest updates, XFce desktop environment, with gnome-power-manager running, kernel 2.6.25-8.fc9.i686, on a Dell D630 laptop.
Actually, I think it's just blanking the screen. If it was in sleep mode, the light would flash, wouldn't it? GNOME battery applet preferences show it's configured to blank the screen when the lid is closed.
Sorry. Blank screen if on AC power, but I'm currently on battery power, which is configured to suspend. Will confirm what the lights are doing just to be sure.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi lights go off and the power light blinks after closing the lid. Power light comes back on and I think the bluetooth and wi-fi lights come back on when opening the lid. The screen stays completely black. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing. Ctrl+Alt+F1 thru F7 do nothing. Ctrl+Alt+Delete eventually reboots.
Sounds like a backlight problem ?
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still seeing something along these lines. Currently, I see a single blinking underscore (a _ style cursor) in the top left corner for a while, then the screen lights up more but stays black. Everything else is as described.
It's more like this, where they mention your screen could be blank after resuming. http://www.linux.com/articles/54610
Sounds like it's a known bug in the nv display driver. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F8Common#nv-suspend Assigning to that project.
It'll be a dupe of bug 429957 or bug 414971. Picking 414971, since that one has more activity and is the earlier bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 414971 ***
Yep, finally managed to get the nvidia driver installed (rather than nv), and it suspends properly.
