Suspend2ram issues

Ok i've correctly set suspend2disk (hibernate) but i can't use suspend2ram because when i use this feature suspend start but the screen doesn't power off and i can't resume, so i've to power off and reboot my laptop.

My laptop is a centrino 2.0 GHz, ATI radeon X700 PCIE, 512MB RAM.

THX.

Re: Suspend2ram issues

I had to surround the actual suspend with vbetool invocations:

chvt 1
vbetool vbestate save > /tmp/state
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
vbetool post
vbetool vbestate restore < /tmp/state
chvt 7

I have VIA Unichrome, not Radeon, but using vbestate seems pretty generic; at least you may try.
