2 | Video issues with S3 resume | |

6 | During S3 resume, hardware needs to be reinitialized. For most | |
7 | devices, this is easy, and kernel driver knows how to do | |
8 | it. Unfortunately there's one exception: video card. Those are usually | |
9 | initialized by BIOS, and kernel does not have enough information to | |
10 | boot video card. (Kernel usually does not even contain video card | |
11 | driver -- vesafb and vgacon are widely used). | |
12 | ||
13 | This is not problem for swsusp, because during swsusp resume, BIOS is | |
36fabc24 PM |
14 | run normally so video card is normally initialized. It should not be |
15 | problem for S1 standby, because hardware should retain its state over | |
16 | that. | |
1da177e4 | 17 | |
543cc27d | 18 | We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it |
992caacf | 19 | using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is necessary on particular |
543cc27d PM |
20 | system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different |
21 | methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of | |
22 | them. | |
23 | ||
24 | Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long | |
25 | whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a | |
26 | given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at | |
27 | www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the | |
28 | whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist | |
29 | entry so that work does not need to be repeated. | |
30 | ||
31 | Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most | |
32 | systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed, | |
33 | so it makes debugging of early resume problems | |
34 | hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable. | |
35 | ||

39 | There are a few types of systems where video works after S3 resume: |
40 | ||
41 | (1) systems where video state is preserved over S3. | |
42 | ||
43 | (2) systems where it is possible to call the video BIOS during S3 | |
44 | resume. Unfortunately, it is not correct to call the video BIOS at | |
45 | that point, but it happens to work on some machines. Use | |
46 | acpi_sleep=s3_bios. | |
47 | ||
48 | (3) systems that initialize video card into vga text mode and where | |
49 | the BIOS works well enough to be able to set video mode. Use | |
50 | acpi_sleep=s3_mode on these. | |
51 | ||
52 | (4) on some systems s3_bios kicks video into text mode, and | |
53 | acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode is needed. | |
54 | ||
55 | (5) radeon systems, where X can soft-boot your video card. You'll need | |
a4ffad5b PM |
56 | a new enough X, and a plain text console (no vesafb or radeonfb). See |
57 | http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/linux/tm800s3/s3.html for more information. | |
58 | Alternatively, you should use vbetool (6) instead. | |
1da177e4 LT |
59 | |
60 | (6) other radeon systems, where vbetool is enough to bring system back | |
61 | to life. It needs text console to be working. Do vbetool vbestate | |
62 | save > /tmp/delme; echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep; vbetool post; vbetool | |
63 | vbestate restore < /tmp/delme; setfont <whatever>, and your video | |
64 | should work. | |
65 | ||
66 | (7) on some systems, it is possible to boot most of kernel, and then | |
67 | POSTing bios works. Ole Rohne has patch to do just that at | |
68 | http://dev.gentoo.org/~marineam/patch-radeonfb-2.6.11-rc2-mm2. | |
69 | ||
7e958883 PM |
70 | (8) on some systems, you can use the video_post utility mentioned here: |
71 | http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3670. Do echo 3 > /sys/power/state | |
72 | && /usr/sbin/video_post - which will initialize the display in console mode. | |
73 | If you are in X, you can switch to a virtual terminal and back to X using | |
74 | CTRL+ALT+F1 - CTRL+ALT+F7 to get the display working in graphical mode again. | |
75 | ||
1da177e4 LT |
76 | Now, if you pass acpi_sleep=something, and it does not work with your |
77 | bios, you'll get a hard crash during resume. Be careful. Also it is | |
78 | safest to do your experiments with plain old VGA console. The vesafb | |
79 | and radeonfb (etc) drivers have a tendency to crash the machine during | |
80 | resume. | |
81 | ||
82 | You may have a system where none of above works. At that point you | |
83 | either invent another ugly hack that works, or write proper driver for | |
84 | your video card (good luck getting docs :-(). Maybe suspending from X | |
85 | (proper X, knowing your hardware, not XF68_FBcon) might have better | |
86 | chance of working. | |
