Suspend on Dell E1505 with ati X1400 +edgy

[jlc]

Here is what I did to get it to work, I used several post to get it to work and I haven't had suspend not work yet! Check my blog for updates:

http://blog.justinconover.com/2007/0...-e1505-part-2/

1.) Add the fglrx drivers doing the manual and add the following:

http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide

$ sudo vi /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common

DISABLED_MODULES=”fglrx”

2.) Add the following “return 1;” to powernowd at use_ondemand

$ sudo vi /etc/init.d/powernowd

use_ondemand() {
return 1;
for x in /sys/devices/system/cpu/*; do
echo -n ondemand >$x/cpufreq/scaling_governor;
status=$?
if [ $status != 0 ]; then
return $status
fi
done
return 0
}

$ sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd restart

3.) Create 2 network scripts to restart ipw3945
$ sudo vi /etc/acpi/suspend.d/07-networkmanager.sh

!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/dbus-send –system \
–dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
–type=method_call \
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager \
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep

And

$ sudo vi /etc/acpi/resume.d/63-networkmanager.sh

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/dbus-send –system \
–dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
–type=method_call \
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager \
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wake

If the formating gets messed up, check out this post, about 7 down:

4.) Add the following to acpi-support

$ sudo vi /etc/default/acpi-support

MODULES_WHITELIST=”ipw3945 fglrx”
SAVE_VBE_STATE=true
POST_VIDEO=false
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true
USE_DPMS=tru
# DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true

5.) Change Power Management “Running on Battery” to “SUSPEND” when laptop lid is closed:

System > Preferences > Power Management > Running on Battery
When laptop lid is closed;    Suspend

That seems to be the special mojo to get suspend working.

Hello,
Ubuntu 7.10 on Dell E1505 with Ati x1300

I follow your instructions completely, but at step #2 where I need to modify "powernowd at use_ondemand" I am unable to edit the module, for some reason I am unable to type "return 1:"

I did get this message: "E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name "/etc/init.d/.powernowd.swp"
owned by: root dated: Fri Dec 7 08:02:45 2007
file name: /etc/init.d/powernowd
modified: YES

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.
If this is the case, be careful not to end up with two
different instances of the same file when making changes.
Quit, or continue with caution.

(2) An edit session for this file crashed.
If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r /etc/init.d/powernowd"
to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").
If you did this already, delete the swap file "/etc/init.d/.powernowd.swp"
to avoid this message.
"/etc/init.d/powernowd" 158 lines, 4108 characters
Press ENTER or type command to continue

"

I am not sure how to edit the swap file or if this is the correct method.
