30 second delay waking from sleep. Screen flashing.

myarchlinuxusername · 2010-01-15 05:41:19

Hello All,

When waking from sleep in GNOME, my screen flashes for about 15 seconds in two tones, seperated in the middle, and then another two tones seperated more near the bottom before it is finally drawn correctly. All in all, this takes about 30 seconds. My video card is an nvidia 8200m, and I installed the nvidia driver through pacman. I've searched, i've read through logs, and can't seem to figure out what may be causing this. Would anyone have any ideas on what the problem may be or how I may troubleshoot it? I know this somehow may be solvable. Thanks!

if you use pm-utils for your suspend, check your /var/log/pm-suspend.log and see if there are any errors etc there.

Could it be something with xorg.conf possibly?

if you think the problem is with your driver, try the nouveau / nv driver or something other than the one you currently use and see if it makes a difference.
