I believe the support for this is > still in progress. Yup, cannot resume (well, CAN but cannot use the laptop afterwards :-D ) if suspending FROM the virtual console used by X if I have DRI enabled. I removed the DRI option from xorg.conf and: - I can resume with no other problem than some desktop background corruption (XFCE4.2.3.1) , which is fixed by issuing a xfdesktop -reload. - radeon.ko and drm.ko are NOT loaded ( I still need to understand the difference between drm and dri...) - graphics perfomance has dropped (As expected), from about 750+ in glxgears to 220 approx. If I really need DRI, the alternative would be to switch to text console before suspending - i'm pretty sure it works fine in this case. Also, in the Toshiba, I had to set this knob : hw.syscons.sc_no_suspend_vtswitch to 1. This makes bad things happen on the z60m, so it's back to 0. Powerd seems to be working fine too. > You probably want to install radeontool and add it > to your rc.suspend and rc.resume scripts. > > Something like: > if [ -x /usr/local/bin/radeontool ]; then > /usr/local/bin/radeontool light off > /usr/local/bin/radeontool dac off > fi > thanks for this, i;ll give it a try soon. > You may want to run the DAC off when running on battery, too, to save > a little power. > > Also, put acpi_ibm_load into /boo/loader.conf and take a look at > 'sysctl dev.acpi_ibm'. yup, all fine there. Also, I had to remove device apic from my kernel config - else resume would fail in every single case (text mode so I would assume DRI has nothing to do). About to try to OSS sound drivers. - The fingerprint scanner is detected but i doubt it'll be useful (definitely not enabling the bios option to rely on the info stored in this little device for booting up :) ) - Bluetooth comes up as ugen0, and it gets switched on/off with Fn-F5, whilst both wifi and b-tooth are affected by the physical switch at the front of the laptop. IRDA is detected but i havent played with it yet. Battery life : i havent had much chance to test it yet, but it seems to hover around the 4 1/2 hours at 95%... not sure how it'll perform under normal use yet. If anyone wants any other info, just ask away :) thanks for all your suggestions / comments Best, Beto
