[SOLVED] can't suspend when using acpi_call

[duende]

Well, that is interesting.

I did not know what (rev a1) was. But if the battery life is now long, I suppose it solves your problem.

I have kernel 3.1.7-1.fc16.x86_64 and still have to switch off the card with acpi_call.

Yeah. I recompiled the acpi_call module and by using it battery life is now even longer.
And wha'ts even better, suspend now works!

Blacklisting nouveau and nvidia seemed to do it, and by adding

  echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.GFX0.DOFF' > /proc/acpi/call

at the buttom of the resume|thaw) section to the suspend script /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd disables the card again upon resume.
(The one i'm using can be found here )

Then i just created a script to disable the card and added it to startup applications:

#!/bin/bash
#Disable nvidia card
sudo insmod /home/esben/acpi_call/acpi_call.ko
sudo sh /home/esben/acpi_call/test_off.sh

Thanks for your help guys
Unless you have anything to add, ill mark this thread as solved.
