So I was right assuming that vbetool can not be used with a 64 bit kernel. I hope that you succeed porting it, Matthew. I was told that my laptop suspends and wakes fine on x86 (with the most recent Kubuntu). I suppose they are using vbetool to get the VGA back. 10.

I tried that and it does not get my display back active after Suspend. Furthermore, if I run it on a normally working display (before Suspend) it makes the display go mad (the content scrolls by very rapidly, kind of flickering). 12.

Do you have any suggestions for that? ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
