Welcome back!

Mountain View, eh? Does that mean you're joining the Gentoo colony inside the Googleplex?

Best regards,
Stu

Have you been in Minsk? Wow. Did you enjoy the city?

What about the London Underground?! :o

To clarify my post above: I literally emerged the gentoo-sources package version 2.6.19-r5, configured it appropriately, and ran it. No patches of any kind were applied, nor were the sources pre-patched with anything other than the gentoo defaults. No suspend2 or any other out-of-tree code.

Also, no shell scripts or anything. I'm using Gnome's power manager for hibernation and suspend.

If you want, I'll be happy to post my .config. The X60s has Intel graphics, not ATi, so it won't work unmodified, but it might be helpful if you're stuck.

az: Comment moderation is on by default for Gentoo-hosted blogs, and I don't particularly care to change it. Besides, we used to get quite a bit of comment spam...

And I grow tired of Gentoo devs who screen comments on their blogs. Are you afraid of something?

If you're using vbetool, try not using it. (A script may be using it for you - hibernatescript has an option in /etc/hibernate/common.conf.) And vice versa.

I have a X60s. As of 2.6.19-gentoo-r5, both suspend and hibernate are working out of the box. The only trick is in the kernel config; it requires using the AHCI SATA driver and enabling CPU Hotplug. I'm not using s2ram or any kernel patches.

I don't know what kernel you're using, but maybe you just need to upgrade.

You might be interested in fdo's bug 8440, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8440 . I haven't tried it yet as the fglrx quite works for me.

Seems to be something strange with ThinkPads. Add "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" to the end of the kernel line in your grub.conf and it will wake up properly.
I think I found this at thinkwiki.org - good resource for ThinkPads.

That sounds like "time to make a nice howto" :p

Daniel: FANTASTIC! s2ram works like a charm!

Daniel: thanks for your suggestion, I'll give it a shot.

Alex: No, Ubuntu isn't for me at this point. Gotta drink my own Kool-Aid...

I gave up too. I doubt Gentoo will ever be a polished notebook distro.

My advice: Install Ubuntu Edgy or Feisty. Suspend and hibernate work perfectly with a default install on my Lenovo 3000 N100 (which is essentially a trimmed-down ThinkPad), and it's not even using suspend2 kernel patches.

No suggestions, but I am in the exact same boat. I haven't given it much effort and can't really, so hope you find something.

Try s2ram. It includes a variety of different ways of poking the video card to wake up again.

Should also be included in this ebuild (but don't be confused that it also contains a userspace suspend-to-disk implementation)

It's been my great pleeasure to work with you on Gentoo, and I'm glad that you're a Trustee of the Foundation. I fear that it will now largely rest on your shoulders to ensure that the next Board inherits something better than we did.

The next time I come Stateside, I hope that it is to meet you in person.

Best regards,
Stu
