Suspend nvidia/ati fix

David Corrales · 04:32 PM

Hi everyone. I just found out that a single change in a text file has enabled both my PC's -a desktop with Nvidia and an Inspiron 9300 laptop with Ati- to successfully resume after suspending to ram, using binary/proprietary drivers.
Edit the file /etc/default/acpi-support and change the line:

Code:

# Should we attempt to warm-boot the video hardware on resume?
POST_VIDEO=true

to

Code:

# Should we attempt to warm-boot the video hardware on resume?
POST_VIDEO=false

reboot X (or the whole computer) and try suspend to ram.
Hope it helps you

Doesn't work for me

Same old black screen. Are you sure you haven't changed anything else?

I have a 6600gt.

EDIT: Forgot to mention it but it might be very important. I have 9746 driver from nvidia.com

I added the Option "NvAGP" "1" to my Device section.
