Hey, I actually had the same problem as the original poster. I have the Dell |
| 2 |
Inspiron 6000 as well. I had the ati 8.40.4 driver and I recently upgraded |
| 3 |
my kernel from linux-2.6.21-suspend2-r7 to various versions of |
| 4 |
linux-2.6.23-tuxonice sources just to try to get it to suspend to ram |
| 5 |
properly. Suspend to ram would suspend, but would fail to resume within |
| 6 |
Gnome. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
There seems to be a problem with the ati 8.40.4 drivers with the newest |
| 9 |
linux-2.6.23 and .24 tuxonice-sources, because I have tried almost every |
| 10 |
single combination to try to get suspend to ram working correctly. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
What I did to solve this was to emerge the newest ati-drivers, which as of |
| 13 |
today is 8.455.2-r1. I also installed radeontool and vbetool. I made the |
| 14 |
changes in my common.conf and also in my ram.conf in /etc/hibernate to |
| 15 |
enable vbetool and radeontool. If you need these files, I'll gladly post |
| 16 |
them up. |

With the linux-2.6.21-suspend2-r7 kernel, I did not have to use any of those |
| 19 |
tools to help me resume but with the linux-2.6.23-tuxonice-sources I did. |
| 20 |
I'm currently running linux-2.6.23-tuxonice-r10. |
