johnh123 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 OK, so it appears that if you want 3d acceleration with your ati card, you can't have suspend to ram/suspend to disk. For me, on a laptop, the suspend(s) are more important than the 3d. Will the suspend(s) work with an ati card without 3d? Which driver should I use to make this happen? So far, using 2006, without 3d accel, when I try to suspend I get a kernel panic. My solution so far has been to reinstall. Maybe it just isn't possible with 2006+ati. If anybody has succeeded getting the suspend(s) to work with an ati card I would appreciate some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) Have you tried the noapic or nolapic options for booting ? this sometimes helps on my notebook the ati-card wasn't the problem, ACPI is certainly the bigger problem when it comes to suspend, since ACPI works on my notebook neither s-to-r nor s-to-d work as they should, before at least s-to-r worked with software-suspend Edited October 25, 2005 by lavaeolus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh123 Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I thought the noapic/nolapic options make it is so suspend won't work at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) that's the ACPI option, it must be enabled, because it controls the Power-Management on all modern computers (on older modells this was controlled by APM), the apic is the advanced programmable interrupt controller, it is a hardware-piece that is on the mainboard, as far as I know, ACPI depends on some of its functions, but since both control interrupt-handling, they sometimes get in conflict the lapic or local apic is mainly (only ?) used by multi-processor systems It seems that some people had success with suspend by using the multimedia-kernel, which can be found in the contribs-section the 1GB-kernel seemed to work too, but so far I have not tested this Edited October 26, 2005 by lavaeolus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 update: the i586-up-1GB-kernel allows me to Suspend-to-Disk, Suspend-to-RAM still seems not to work , some testing showed me that my synaptics-touchpad seems to be the ugly guy that won't unload its driver upon suspend and spoils a proper resume additional note: my graphics-card is an ati radeon mobility M6 LY, noapic and nolapic-options where not needed, acpi must be enabled, I have the acpi, acpid, suspend-scripts, suspend-scripts-force and the hibernate rpms installed on my system, and the swap-partition must be at least 30% more than your phisical RAM hope this helps at least now I am a bit more happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
