I run Opensuse 11.1 on a Thinkpad T61 with an nVidia Quadro NVS 140M graphics card. I recently migrated from Ubuntu to OpenSUSE in the hope that hibernate and suspend work.
I installed the 180.27 drivers off the site and well, suspend worked pretty flawlessly but there are some interesting issues for hibernate and the general usage of openSUSE.
- Hibernate takes just too long. It goes to sleep very quick but on resume, I get this blank screen with a cursor on the top left for about a minute, during which the hard disk doesnt seem to be spinning. After an annoying beep, the hard disk springs back to life, and I get to the password stage. The whole idea of using hibernate is that it is supposed to be quicker than a full blown power on, so the purpose is lost if hibernate takes this long. This is an interesting error message I encountered in my /var/log/pm-suspend.log file:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files
- On bootup, or when the screen goes off in general, there is this black and white mosaic which covers the entire screen before I get back to the SUSE desktop.
Any one has any ideas?
