Video issues with S3 resume
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
2003-2005, Pavel Machek
|
|
|
|
During S3 resume, hardware needs to be reinitialized. For most
|
|
devices, this is easy, and kernel driver knows how to do
|
|
it. Unfortunately there's one exception: video card. Those are usually
|
|
initialized by BIOS, and kernel does not have enough information to
|
|
boot video card. (Kernel usually does not even contain video card
|
|
driver -- vesafb and vgacon are widely used).
|
|
|
|
This is not problem for swsusp, because during swsusp resume, BIOS is
|
|
run normally so video card is normally initialized. S3 has absolutely
|
|
no chance of working with SMP/HT. Be sure it to turn it off before
|
|
testing (swsusp should work ok, OTOH).
|
|
|
|
There are a few types of systems where video works after S3 resume:
|
|
|
|
(1) systems where video state is preserved over S3.
|
|
|
|
(2) systems where it is possible to call the video BIOS during S3
|
|
resume. Unfortunately, it is not correct to call the video BIOS at
|
|
that point, but it happens to work on some machines. Use
|
|
acpi_sleep=s3_bios.
|
|
|
|
(3) systems that initialize video card into vga text mode and where
|
|
the BIOS works well enough to be able to set video mode. Use
|
|
acpi_sleep=s3_mode on these.
|
|
|
|
(4) on some systems s3_bios kicks video into text mode, and
|
|
acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode is needed.
|
|
|
|
(5) radeon systems, where X can soft-boot your video card. You'll need
|
|
a new enough X, and a plain text console (no vesafb or radeonfb). See
|
|
http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/linux/tm800s3/s3.html for more information.
|
|
Alternatively, you should use vbetool (6) instead.
|
|
|
|
(6) other radeon systems, where vbetool is enough to bring system back
|
|
to life. It needs text console to be working. Do vbetool vbestate
|
|
save > /tmp/delme; echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep; vbetool post; vbetool
|
|
vbestate restore < /tmp/delme; setfont <whatever>, and your video
|
|
should work.
|
|
|
|
(7) on some systems, it is possible to boot most of kernel, and then
|
|
POSTing bios works. Ole Rohne has patch to do just that at
|
|
http://dev.gentoo.org/~marineam/patch-radeonfb-2.6.11-rc2-mm2.
|
|
|
|
Now, if you pass acpi_sleep=something, and it does not work with your
|
|
bios, you'll get a hard crash during resume. Be careful. Also it is
|
|
safest to do your experiments with plain old VGA console. The vesafb
|
|
and radeonfb (etc) drivers have a tendency to crash the machine during
|
|
resume.
|
|
|
|
You may have a system where none of above works. At that point you
|
|
either invent another ugly hack that works, or write proper driver for
|
|
your video card (good luck getting docs :-(). Maybe suspending from X
|
|
(proper X, knowing your hardware, not XF68_FBcon) might have better
|
|
chance of working.

|
|
|
First, boot into X and run the following script ONCE:
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
statedir=/root/s3/state
|
|
mkdir -p $statedir
|
|
chvt 2
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
vbetool vbestate save >$statedir/vbe
|
|
|
|
|
|
To suspend and resume properly, call the following script as root:
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
statedir=/root/s3/state
|
|
curcons=`fgconsole`
|
|
fuser /dev/tty$curcons 2>/dev/null|xargs ps -o comm= -p|grep -q X && chvt 2
|
|
cat /dev/vcsa >$statedir/vcsa
|
|
sync
|
|
echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep
|
|
sync
|
|
vbetool post
|
|
vbetool vbestate restore <$statedir/vbe
|
|
cat $statedir/vcsa >/dev/vcsa
|
|
rckbd restart
|
|
chvt $[curcons%6+1]
|
|
chvt $curcons
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless you change your graphics card or other hardware configuration,
|
|
the state once saved will be OK for every resume afterwards.
|
|
NOTE: The "rckbd restart" command may be different for your
|
|
distribution. Simply replace it with the command you would use to
|
|
set the fonts on screen.
