I suspect it is related to the framebuffer. I have killed X and tried it from |
23 |
the console, but it still crashed when it resumed. So killing X, framebuffer |
24 |
and whatever else it chokes on I think would not be very practical, unless |
25 |
there's a fix/script that works for this? |

Thanks. Which function would you associate with the lid switch - not that it |
35 |
matters with this laptop. When I try to put it into standby it stops the |
36 |
disk alright, but the screen turns really bright within a secodn or so (I |
37 |
fear it may burn out if I leave it for any length of time). I tried to use |
38 |
radeontool light off, but it doesn't seem to work (the screen turns on again |
39 |
when in standby). |
