It doesn't work from a console, or using the i810 driver. Also the network card seems dead afterwards and a reboot will hang the machine. Still, it's a partial success for reviving a dead screen that seems to plague several centrino laptops. Anyone with this problem care to check other versions of XFree86, and verify it on other laptops? I don't know if it's possible to take whatever initialisation the VESA driver is doing and always executing it on resume? cheers, Alexei ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
