Hi,

[Adding linux-pm and linux-kernel mailing lists to CC.]

You can try using the pm_test framework for debugging this, to a certain
extent. See Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt for details on how
to use it.

Also, if you could post any logs that indicate the problem, that would
be great!

Thanks,

I will look into that.

At this point "the logs" are camera shoots of my monitor. I really do not  
know if there is some think else that can be useful.

Can not answer that, but this is not happening when using nv X11 driver.

In that case it's almost certainly something you need to bring up with 
nvidia.

Yes, but that might be hard, or even impossible. Maybe there is something  
that I can change in kernel to fix it, without breaking too much or not  
breaking anything ;)

Don't forget that you can use nvidia-reportbug.sh...can't remember
exactly what its called but
I know that nvidia does actually look at those generated bug reports.

OK ;) Got the motivation, I did send them the report, will see...

But I am still gonna check linux kernel trace methods, to know more.

So I run some test:

Using platform in state file:

1. echo freezer > pm_test - no problems.
2. echo devices > pm_test - problems: no picture (LCD is up and shining,  
but there is only black picture [even after 60 seconds]). I can use power  
button to shut down the system. Other keyboard keys are not working (I was  
trying to type reboot with no luck).
3. echo processors > pm_test - the same as above
4. echo core > pm_test - the same as above
5. I turn off the X11 (telinit 2), but the nvidia module is still loaded -  
no problems.
6. I left X11 working on f7 (7th tty) and switch to f1 (1st tty) - echo  
core > pm_test works OK, but switching back to X11 (alt+f7) will give me  
the same as in 2. I can change the brightness of black screen, but I can  
not go back to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1).

Is there more I can do?
