Suspend to RAM with KMS enabled and ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M

firecat53 · 2010-11-26 18:28:22

Per this thread, I added the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to disable glx in order to continue booting with 'nomodeset' to disable KMS after today's updates. I've always had to boot with 'nomodeset' so that suspend/resume will work properly (I get a black screen/freeze on resume from suspend to ram). However, with this fix, my screen redraws are happening MUCH slower than before the update. Anyone have KMS enabled AND suspend/resume working with an: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)?

Thanks,
Scott

@leonid.l -- can you give me an idea of your configuration...Xorg.conf and/or xorg.conf.d files, any /etc/pm.d files, lspci output, which graphic driver, kernel version, boot line options in menu.lst, etc. I'm trying to figure out what makes yours work and mine not! So you can suspend to ram and resume with no problems, and you're not using nomodeset in the boot line, right? xf86-video-ati?

Thanks!
Scott

Ok, sorry for a delay -- long weekend...
Suspend + KMS have been working starting sometimes in the 2.6.35 series.
My guess as to why you can't suspend, is your BIOS/motherboard, nothing else.

Anyway, here is the info:
