Hi

On my Sony Vaio laptop (PCG-C1VRX/K picturebook) I use kernel 2.6.11. I
am on Debian Sarge. When I suspend, the laptop suspends just fine,
unloads everything it can, what it cannot, I included in the script to
force to unload, and it sleeps very fine when I close the lid. First
issue, it wont wake up when I open the lid, only when I press a button.
Second issue is that it wont come back to live even after button
pressed, except if I give a boot pharameter to GRUB as follows

acpi_sleep=s3_bios

Now my Grub entry looks like this:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.11 
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11 root=/dev/hda2 ro
acpi_sleep=s3_bios initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.11
savedefault
boot

When I use this option, it does wake up when I hit a key. However, while
asleep, the screen isnt completely off. I can hear a buzzing sound,
very soflty, but I can definetally hear it. Also, when I open the
lid, (it wont wake up yet, only on button press) I can see some text on
the screen if I tilt it in the right angle. THe LCD seems off, but it
does has some text on it, so it cannot be off, just dimmed to a maximum.
ANd the buzzing sound gives it also away. I left the machine suspended
at 33% battery yesterday at 2AM, and by 7AM when I woke up, the battery
was dead, and the laptop shut down. Usually 33% gives me 40 mintues of
work time, I think it should have lasted for a 5 hours suspension, no?

Thanks for any help

Benedek

Hi

Here is another set of mails, that I sent to the XFree86 mail list, and
this gentleman below advised me to something, that didnt work
unfortunately, but while trying, I realized another thing. It is at the
bottom of this email.

Thanks

Ben

Hello

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I dont want to go to use APM as that
is depreciated as you said. 

What you said about the chvt, I was really happy to hear, and I tried,
but it does not work unfortunately. Same as before, buzzing sound and
the display shows writing. (UPDATE: not only writing, but also vertical
lines, about 50 of them, right next to eachother, and horizontal lines,
about 3-4 of them far apart.) But this writing is very hard to see. Not
obvious at all. I realized it after 2 months of using it, so you can see
how dimmed it is. Also, another very interesting thing, that when I open
the lid, and the laptop is still asleep (it needs button press to wake),
as I said, I can see the writing from an angle, but only if I turn the
LCD to the left, or right, and get some sunshine on it, or light. Now,
when I press the button (space usually), it starts to wake up, and the
first moment when I press the button, I think the LCD goes off for a
moment only, and then wakes up. Why I think this? I checked carefuly,
and before I press the space bar, the text is on the display, and when I
press the SPACE bar, it gets erased, and the screen is even darker, but
only for a second or less, and then backlight comes back on.


Another thing to note, is that the text I see on the display looks
something like this:

******************IRQ Something************
*************Stopping tasks................

SOmething like that. And again, when I press the space bar, it goes
away, and finally the screen looks to be off for a moment.

Thanks

Ben
