[SOLVED] [pm-quirks] new package or just a split?

Is pm-quirks an entirely new thing from upstream? Is there anything new I need to do with it? -- such as specifying my computer manufacturer.

SOLUTION:

Btw, is this package in conjuction with upower thought as a replacement of hal, which is now deprecated?
Should I have upower and hal installed, since I use hal for thunar-volman and exo only, which do automounting, and upower is used for that now?

Cheers.

Whoever is responsible for making stuff like this happen- thank you! My Thinkpad T500 finally successfully suspends and hibernates, although the graphical shell shows only my cursor and is otherwise completely black (likely to be an X problem).

i think this is answering the question: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19068

I have the same problem, my ThinkPad T500 suspends fine, but when you resume, sometimes the screen goes black with blinking cursor. This situation irritates me enough, and to suspend a notebook is an extremely important function, and I don't trust the suspension, because never know if I will get back to my graphical environment.

Sorry for my OT

Try using pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on as command to suspend in /etc/acpi/handler.sh . It finally solved my problem of the screen not turning back on when resuming from suspend.

Thankyou kheophex, I will test it

Hi kheophex, this appears to work for my T500! Thanks for the tip. I'd like to make this quirk always apply when suspending/hibernating, where can I apply it? (/etc/acpi/handler.sh doesn't seem to have a specific section for it, but maybe I'm just too sleepy.) If possible I'd like to continue using uswsusp, so hopefully this just hooks in with pm-utils.

At first, after reading the post from him, I thought that setting solved my problem, but then tried to see what would happen if normally suspended, I realized that my ThinkPad T500, for some unknown reason, now suspended without any strange configuration.
I assume that was after updating pm-utils.

Well in my case I call in it handler.sh when I close the lid, so I put it under the button/lid event:

button/lid)
if [[ `cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state | awk '{print $2}'` = "closed" ]]
then
pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on
fi
#echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
;;
esac

Incidentally I noticed in the Archlinux web interface that "pm-utils" says "Depends: pm-quirks" but "pm-quirks" does not have anything under "Required By:".

Either there's a bug in the database or these things have to be entered manually and someone just forgot.
