Hi,

I'm having trouble bringing my computer out of S3
suspend, and am hoping someone may be able to help me.

The computer itself successfully comes out of suspend
when I press the power button, but the video does not
come back. Reading about this i discovered
hw.acpi.reset_video, which sounded like exactly what I
needed; alas, it did nothing.

Reading further mailing lists, I found mention that
X's DRI could screw this up. So I set up my computer
not to launch X on boot, and rebooted it (since emails
seemed to say that once DRI was loaded, there was no
undoing its affects without a reboot). Still, the
video did not come back.

i'm not sure what to do now, or even what details are
helpful. I will tell you that I'm using an ATI Radeon
QY RV100 7000/VE, and the computer is an IBM NetVista
8307-82U. uname -a:
FreeBSD calvin 6.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4
#0: Fri Apr 27 16:11:48 EDT 2007    
root@calvin:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CALVIN  i386

Also, I've noted that under windows on this same
computer (i have it setup to dual-boot), where S3
works fine, I can bring it out of suspend with both
the keyboard and mouse (both PS/2) as well as the
power button. Probably just an implementation
difference, but perhaps important in a way I don't
understand.
