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? wcn Sampsa Riikonen wrote:

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).

...

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.

Also have you tried switching to a text console and back to the X session? Ctrl-Alt-F1, then Ctrl-Alt-F7. I have a machine with an Intel video chip that has some nice fuscia gibberish when I wake it up, switching to console and back helps.

Try this...if you're using KDE, make all of your desktops have a different background. Switching from one desktop to another desktop will force a repaint of the whole screen.

Also ... check ctrl-alt-F10 for clues there

It appears that the display becomes corrupted when it is changed to a frame buffer. At least, when the lid is shut and then reopened, the display is corrupted. The same thing happens when going through the shutdown process, and the X server is stopped. The shutdown splash screens are corrupted and in almost all cases completely unreadable. When running, the switching to a text console (ctrl+alt_f1...f6)and then back to the X display (ctrl+alt+f7) clears the problem. The initial switch to a text console does not clear the corruption. I will post this problem at the Nvidia site. Thanks to all,,, Tom. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
