I had a similar problem with ATI drivers when I had installed the
companies "proprietary" driver. The xorg driver behaved itself during
suspend and resume, but the ati driver locked up during resume. Meybe
you got a similar issue?

Hello Tom,

I had a similar problem with HP tx1000 laptop.

When the screen goes to sleep, the X-server
must be started again..
..or alternative you can type ctrl+alt+F5 and (or?) ctrl+alt+F7
(one of these starts the display mode again). This did the
trick for me, so at least I dont have to start the x-server
(and log out) each time. Hope this crappy solution
might help you. ;)

.. I still have a mysterious halting of the system
every now and then (that might well be because of the ***
nvidia driver).

2008/1/24, Tom Cada <thomas.cada@xxxxxxxxx>:

I have a HP DV9000 series notebook which uses a Nvidia GEForce 6150
video card. I am currently running kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3x86_64.

I updated the drivers using the "one click" install from the openSUSE
community web site. The new driver version is Nvidia 169.07.

Now, when the video goes to sleep say with a close of the notebook
case, when the case is re-opened, the display is not repainted
properly but is completely corrupted. I have to restart the X server
using <ctrl><alt><backspace> and log in again to get the proper
display. The same think happens when the display is shut down by the
power control process.

I have looked at the logs and dmesg and can find no errors but may be
looking at the wrong files.

My questions are:

1. Should I post this problem to the Nvidia site?.

2. Can I regress the drivers to the prior properly working drivers
(Version: 100.14.19) using Nvidia's driver install process of running
a shell script.

3. If I do item 2 am I just digging the hole deeper?

Any thoughts or assistance will be gratefully received.

Thanks... Tom Cada
