I finally tested everything possible and double/triple checked the scripts and it came down to the very simple solution: vbetool is evil is evil is evil I already had vbetool savestate disabled but there was still a call to vbetool dpms in the scripts. After removing that too I am back to normal again, i.e. I use s3_bios option and nothing else to get video back (BTW: no framebuffer console, plain VGA text). According to /proc/acpi/video/VID/POST_info: I have to use s3_bios since the BIOS does ot provide an ACPI video post routine, correct? For acpi-support scripts double check to have SAVE_VBE_STATE=false POST_VIDEO=false USE_DPMS=false in /etc/default/acpi-support (location from Debian acpi-support package). Just to be very sure I did ln -sf /bin/true /usr/sbin/vbetool So, many thanks for the good ideas an advice! If I can be of any other help please call - I am willing to test and try anything suggested (if it does not involve "rm -rf /" :) CU nils faerber - -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen Mob: +49-176-21024535 - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCf6xoJXeIURG1qHgRAihSAKCH7O0Hh3noAhlzZXwC93QRScCKlgCeMNcT N9bXE+8GCYR1XAa8Jh3MUq4= =ZJJ/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
