Hi all, I synced to the latest git (dc7fe476) to test suspend/resume to ram. Suspend and resume works like a charm with one drawback: switching to a text console after that does not work any more. The result is only a black screen. The console itself is responsive - just not displayed. Now the logs: Before a suspend/resume cycle - switching to the text console and back gives the following additional entries in Xorg.0.log: Synaptics DeviceOff called (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Synaptics auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event2 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" (--) Synaptics touchpad found A suspend/resume cycle gives the following additional entries in Xorg.0.log: SetClientVersion: 0 9 SetGrabKeysState - disabled Synaptics DeviceOff called (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDVGASave: VGA FB Offset (0x00000000) is out of range of the Cards Internal FB Address (0xD0000000) (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Synaptics auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event2 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" (--) Synaptics touchpad found SetGrabKeysState - enabled After suspend/resume switching to the text console and back gives the following additional entries in Xorg.0.log Synaptics DeviceOff called (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDVGASave: VGA FB Offset (0x00000000) is out of range of the Cards Internal FB Address (0xD0000000) (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Synaptics auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event2 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" (--) Synaptics touchpad found attached ist the full Xorg.0.log keep up the good work Henry

New subject: Switching to text console after suspend/resume gives only black screen

I'm seeing problems switching to a text console as well, but it's not related to suspend/resume -- it does it all the time. Anytime I switch to a text console, my (ancient CRT) monitor goes into power saving mode. I can blindly enter commands and I can switch back to the X virtual terminal which works perfectly. The screen once again goes off when X terminates. Xorg.log with -logverbose 7 is attached. Please let me know if I can provide any more information or help try something out. Thanks for the amazing effort on this driver. Robert On Dec 12, 2007 1:07 AM, henry ritzlmayr wrote:

Hi all,

Suspend and resume works like a charm with one drawback: switching to a text console after that does not work any more. The result is only a black screen. The console itself is responsive - just not displayed.

Now the logs:

Before a suspend/resume cycle - switching to the text console and back gives the following additional entries in Xorg.0.log:

Synaptics DeviceOff called (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Synaptics auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event2 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" (--) Synaptics touchpad found

A suspend/resume cycle gives the following additional entries in Xorg.0.log:

SetClientVersion: 0 9 SetGrabKeysState - disabled Synaptics DeviceOff called (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDVGASave: VGA FB Offset (0x00000000) is out of range of the Cards Internal FB Address (0xD0000000) (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Synaptics auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event2 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" (--) Synaptics touchpad found SetGrabKeysState - enabled

After suspend/resume switching to the text console and back gives the following additional entries in Xorg.0.log

Synaptics DeviceOff called (II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket) (EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDVGASave: VGA FB Offset (0x00000000) is out of range of the Cards Internal FB Address (0xD0000000) (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Synaptics auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event2 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" (--) Synaptics touchpad found

attached ist the full Xorg.0.log

keep up the good work

Hrm... This does seem like behaviour that we cannot change immediately: When coming out of suspend/resume, there is probably no working mode, and we then enterVT into it and then set up X properly. So we save something that isn't really a working mode, and then restore that returning to VT. So there really is little we can do about this... Especially since we are just enabling/disabling the VGA emulation, never touching the other registers. So whatever we do, unless we do a full VGA store/restore as well, we cannot restore a vga text console. Then, if we do notice that we are coming out of a resume on entervt, and we decide not to store the current settings but keep old, already saved register content... What happens if there is a working mode on the console? What if the layout changed? This really is a tough nut to crack, and a serious minefield, and we probably will not fix it in the very forseeable future. Luc Verhaegen.

Henry, Have you tried switching to a console VT before suspending? I've been using the tuxonice.net "hibernate" functionality with this driver without difficulty, but I do have the SwitchToTextMode mode configuration option enabled. Robert On Dec 16, 2007 4:00 AM, henry ritzlmayr wrote:

Not yet - I will try it and post the result. Regarding tuxonice.net: Everything works flawlessly when I suspend to disk on FC7 - I only have this problem when suspending to ram - which I would prefer because it is much faster than saving 2Gig of ram to the disk, and I open/start my Z61p almost every day. thanks Henry

I explained why this happens in my previous mail, and i think that there is no other sane option but to close this issue. Luc Verhaegen. SUSE/Novell X Driver Developer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
