Modern Suspend on Dell Latitude 5285 does not resume

Modern Suspend on Dell Latitude 5285 does not resume

[Nico Schottelius]

Hello,

following up the recent patch [0] to enable modern suspend on Dell notebooks, I
can report that this patch does *not* fix the situation on Dell Latitude
5285. I have tested with v4.12-10845-g74cbd96 and when closing the "lid"
or triggering sleep by echo mem > /sys/power/state, the system suspends,
but never wakes up again. Trying to resume with the power button does
not have any affect, as it is the case with 4.12.1.

A long power button press to forcefully shutdown the system is
necessary, at which point the notebook responds with blinking
the power LED (3x red, 5x white), which seems not to be defined in
the user manual.

Is there anything I can do to test what is going on?

Best,

Nico

p.s.: The device does also not have any backlight control available in
xorg, even though sysfs exposes a brightness setting - where is the best
place to report this? xorg bugzilla or kernel?

Currently the patch does not look at anything in the system to default to S2I vs S3.
This will affect systems that offer S3 and S2I (even if S3 is broken).

Have you configured /sys/power/mem_sleep to s2idle?

Have you tried "echo freeze > /sys/power/state" instead of "mem"?

Thanks,

indeed, after configuring it to s2idle, it works like charm!

Do you have any plans on defaulting to s2idle for machines that do not
properly support s3?

Best,

Nico
