Sleep works, wake doesn't

FC9. Acer Extensa 5620Z.

I can put my laptop into sleep mode just fine - either closing the lid or using the menu option on the Gnome panel's battery widget.

When I try to wake the machine, the power led goes from blinking orange to solid green, then the machine powers off. I think it's starting to wake up correctly because the led behavior is the same when I sleep/wake in Windows. I'm just at a bit of a loss how to debug this since the screen never comes back on. Is there a log file I can consult to see what happened?

Code:

 # /var/log/messages | grep 'acpi'

?

Which display driver are you using, what graphics chipset do you have?

gohanman · #3 6th August 2008, 05:03 PM

Intel X3100. I don't have the machine in front of me, but I'm using whatever driver installs by default. The only thing I've gone outside the standard repos for is ndiswrapper (from livna).

That's odd. Intel are usually very good on this front. They even have kernel-based mode setting which can give a flicker free boot.

Check that you're using intel-2.4.0 when you're at the machine. Try looking in /var/log/messages like I said. The entries are timestamped.

If you just want to read the file use the following as root:

Code:

cat /var/log/messages

Er, how? rpm -qa | grep -i intel doesn't give anything and xorg.conf doesn't show a driver version number...

/var/log/messages isn't helpful. There's the successful suspend:

Code:

And the machine booting up after failing to resume

Code:

Nothing in between.

EDIT:

According to yum, 2.3.2 is the newest version of xorg-x11-drv-i810 if that's the intel driver.

Dead1nside · #6 7th August 2008, 03:46 PM

Indeed. The package name 'i810' isn't the format I expected for the intel driver for integrated graphics. On Phoronix.com they always call it Intel. 2.4.0 might be in Fedora 9 - Testing repository.

I'm afraid I can't really help you much anymore. That's the limit of my experience. I suggest you file a bug, although with whom I don't know. Xorg, Fedora?

gohanman · #7 7th August 2008, 05:12 PM

Ah well. Thanks for the suggestions.

Maybe I'll try running the sleep scripts manually from runlevel 3. See if X is related to the problem.
