Help with S3 on an Acer Travelmate c110
Subsystems (2)
Hello,
I was wondering if any of you could help me with suspend to ram on a travelmate c110. I'm running kernel 2.6.10 on Hoary.
It seems I can suspend, and sort of resume. The machine seems to resume, but the display does not come back on. I can issue commands like reboot, etc at the terminal I suspended from. I cannot get the display to come back on whether or not I suspend from within X or just a plain terminal.
Any ideas?
Adam

Read Documentation/power/video.txt in the kernel's source directory. This should help you ;-)

Thanks for the response. I followed the documentation, but none of the methods worked. I did, however, find something in someone's blog concerning a Travelmate c300 that mentioned a utility called video_post.
This works - you have to switch to a VT and back to X to get it to
start working, but this is scriptable with chvt.
video_post wasn't easy to find via google - there are lots of posts about it, but most links are broken... a forum post finally led me to this link: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3670 and download "attachment.cgi", which is actually a .tar.gz package. I guess this is just an FYI for anyone who might come accross the archive searching for Travelmate c110.
Thanks,
Adam

This method should be listed there. Well, it's not listed under this name, but there's a link to my(again outdated) Acer TM 800 howto which lists a few simmilar tools

Well, it's fine that you got it working!

Hrmm, I never tried this because I thought it was for Radeon only :(

How's this? I changed the Travelmate C300 entry because the documentation I found to get the C110 working was actually for the C300 - it just happened to work for the C110 too (http://www.umich2.com/files/2004/12/linux_on_the_ac.html).

Hmm. There /should/ be no difference between video_post and vbetool post.

I see at least one: video_post allow architectures that are not i386.

Ah, yes, that's true. The Xorg people told me that vm86 was preferable to x86emu on x86, but that doesn't help a great deal for amd64. I'll port it at some stage.
