I didn't say make framebuffer depend on DRM, you can still unload DRM before suspend. It's the other way around DRM needs framebuffer. Suspend/resume are part of this. In the current model there is no way for the DRM driver to see the suspend/resume events. I haven't tried it but I suspect a suspend/resume with DRM running has a bad outcome right now. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
