[Solved]Xfce4 won't resume from lid swtich.

Xfce4 will not resume properly on a dell laptop using the lid switch. On lid close it suspends fine but I am left with a black screen on resume. I can zap it or switch to console and restart the DM.
Suspend/resume works properly using power button or the 'Log Out' menu. Also, using KDE suspend/resume functions properly with the lid swtich.

I had the same problem a few month ago. This is how i fixed it. Put this in /etc/pm/sleep.d/10-display.sh and make it executable with

chmod a+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/10-display.sh

/etc/pm/sleep.d/10-display.sh:

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
    hibernate)
        echo "Hey guy, we are going to suspend to disk!"
        ;;
    suspend)
        echo "Suspend"
        ;;
    thaw)
        echo "oh, suspend to disk is over, we are resuming..."
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto
        ;;
    resume)
                DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto
        ;;
    *)  echo "somebody is calling me totally wrong."
        ;;
esac

Unfortuntly that doesn't help.

xrandr is a good idea - I'm going to try a few things with it.

Thank you.

Are you using compositing? there are issues with hibernation and xgl.

Xfce4 is the same whether compositing is on or off. Suspend and resume both work fine if called from a command line, using the run dialogue or with the exit dialogue. It's only when suspending via lid close that resume isn't working.

KDEmod everything works including suspend/resume via lid switch - with compositing on.

I have added the resume=/dev/.. to kernel command line and rebuilt mkinitcpio with resume added. I will try removing the autodetect as suggested...

I'm confused why this only happens with Xfce.

thanks

Okay update,
I added an exec pm-suspend line to /etc/acpi/handler.sh and it now works. I also told xfce4 power manager to not suspend on lid close.

I get some distortion on resume but everything functions.

Once I've looked into this I will mark as solved.
