I’m using openSUSE 11.1 with fglrx as a graphics driver and compiz as window manager and resume from hibernation just doesn’t work. It works fine with radeonhd, but radeonhd doesn’t support direct rendering on my X1400.
When resuming from suspend to disk or to ram (with fglrx) the screen remains black and not even caps lock does anything. Sometimes I get a garbled screen, but it never works properly. I’m using the latest fglrx from the amd/ati website. I would love to try a somewhat older release, but I don’t find any.
Any suggestions on fixing it with the current fglrx or knowledge of how to fix it with an older fglrx?
If you don’t know, please just don’t answer. Do you really think I didn’t take a look at a million pages before asking? Did you even bother taking a look at that page yourself to see that there is nothing related to fglrx or similar?
Anyways; did anyone experience similar problems, or does anyone have any ideas?
Yes I did, and if you also would have read it, you would have gotten the idea what might help you (unloading and reloading fglrx through the SUSPEND_MODULES array) and how to geht more information, what might be the problem (suspend logs).
As radeonhd doesn’t give you that problem, it would be the logical step to try, so don’t insult users who try to help you.
I told you I read that already and already tried SUSPEND_MODULES, and it doesn’t do any good because fglrx won’t even unload.
A polite user would have said: “Hey, did you try SUSPEND_MODULES as described here <url>” instead of just “<url>” which sounds more like, RTFM, moron.
I obviously checked the suspend logs, too, and there is nothing hinting in the right direction, at least not me.
If you really suspect fglrx kernel module to be the cause, does suspend work from runlevel 3 or 1 with fglrx unloaded? (should be possible to unload fglrx in non-X runlevel).
Which laptop are you using? Is it in the supported list?
I saw both those sites yesterday, they don’t help. As I said, with radeonhd or even no X at all resume works fine.
I didn’t use compiz before and it didn’t work either, so it isn’t related to that.
I am having a similar problem with an ATI Radeon 3850.
I managed to make suspend to RAM work, but hibernate seems to resume correctly, only to freeze the whole system after a minute.
I tried with SUSPEND_MODULES=“fglrx”, but I still get a warning in /var/log/pm-suspend.log about it being broken.
