[SOLVED] xf86-video-intel & suspend to ram

I have been trying to get the 'intel' driver to work with my suspend to ram configuration.
Not been successful, when I resume, the screen is black and not usable, so at the moment I am stuck with the 'i810' driver with '915resolution' configuration. Has anybody been able to get the 'intel' driver to work with suspend to ram?
Thanks for input,
Blind

Actually using it (version 2.1.1) and works fine. I've also tried 2.2.0 released a couple of weeks ago and it works with suspend to ram too (but I have some brightness problems so I'm still running the 2.1.1).

Thanks for the info. Did you have to do anything special with the pm-utils scripts?

What chipset are you using? Anyway I'm on a T61, using xf86-video-intel (2.2.0) - suspend to ram works with 2.1.1 as well. I had to add the relevant line to pm-utils for my system since I had to switch virtual terminals after resume from suspend. Before modifying the pm-utils scripts, try this as root:

 pm-suspend --quirk-vbestate-restore --quirk-s3-bios

The above works for me.

If that doesn't work try

pm-suspend --quirk-vbestate-restore --quirk-s3-bios --quirk-s3-mode

Re: [SOLVED] xf86-video-intel & suspend to ram

Hey, thank you for your input. I have a Intel 945 GMA.
The commands you sent do put the computer to sleep, but when I want to resume, the computer just boots
Maybe only --quirk-vbestate-restore needed? Will try that next.

Edit:
Ok, I used --quirk-vbestate-restore and it works nicely with this.
I wonder how I can configure pm-utils to use this flag automatically now...
