SWSUSP and occasional keyboard/X locks (not GPM)

SWSUSP and occasional keyboard/X locks (not GPM)

[brian]

I'm running 2.4.18 vanilla with swsusp patches.  I've disabled GPM
and suspend/resume works well.

However, occasionally when my laptop resumes everything appears ok,
but the keyboard and mouse (touchpad) don't respond.   If I ssh
in via the ethernet I can kill X and keyboard control comes back.
(this is the same behavior I saw with GPM was missing things up)
(I've actually removed the gpm executable from my machine)

I use the 'susp' script to suspend the machine which knocks out most
of the known problems with software suspend.

I'm running XFree86 4.2.1.

My laptop is a Sony VAIO FXA32 w/Duron 900MHz and 384MB RAM.

You can have a look at the susp script at

Any ideas?

Yep, swsusp is not really meant to work in 2.4.X. Get latest
2.5.X... and add IDE patches so it does not eat your disk...

You might want to use setleds to toggle something on keyboard. Perhaps
that helps.
