My Dell C640 has problems after suspend. I currently run the newest upstream driver copied into a Fedora Core 1 install and that works without any problems. Does anyone know what change has to be applied ontop of the RH src.rpm to fix this?
greetings,

Ewwp. This is with the radeon driver of course.

I've just switched my good old Inspiron 8000 (3 years old!) for a 8600 which has an ATI Radeon Mobility 8600 card. With the latest 2.6 kernel from FC development, I can actually get the system to go into suspend (3) mode, but when restoring, the display does something nasty and unrecoverable when in X, or stays completely off when in console mode. I can actually "use" the system once resumed, i.e. type "reboot", but can't see anything on the screen and don't know of any way to get the display back :-(
This is with XFree86 4.4RC2 as 4.3 doesn't recognize the card, and the binary ATI drivers have broken Xv output and killed the graphic card last week (I had to have it replaced yeasterday...).
ACPI is great, but soooooo flaky. Too bad, but it should keep on getting better. Sorry if this hadn't much to do with your initial question, but I'm not even sure I actually understood it :-) Mine is, "what can I do to have my display switch back on after a suspend to ram"? Can it be a BIOS problem, kernel problem?

Probably a BIOS or video driver problem I would think. Try using the Fn-F8 combination (it is that on my 5150) to switch between CRT and LCD, this may manage to do something.
Also have a look at the display at an oblique angle to external lighting... its possible the LCD is up but the backlight is off. In this case you can just see the image on the LCD if you get it at the right angle.
I have the nVidia card for my Inspiron and it has its own issues, the recent nVidia binary drivers stop sending data to the LCD panel if you enter one of the text consoles after being in X. So don't feel bad about choosing ATI :-)
