Video issues with S3 resume
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
2003-2006, 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. It should not be
|
|
problem for S1 standby, because hardware should retain its state over
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it
|
|
using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is necessary on particular
|
|
system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different
|
|
methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long
|
|
whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a
|
|
given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at
|
|
www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the
|
|
whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist
|
|
entry so that work does not need to be repeated.
|
|
|
|
Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most
|
|
systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed,
|
|
so it makes debugging of early resume problems
|
|
hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable.
|

|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
(8) on some systems, you can use the video_post utility and or
|
|
do echo 3 > /sys/power/state && /usr/sbin/video_post - which will
|
|
initialize the display in console mode. If you are in X, you can switch
|
|
to a virtual terminal and back to X using CTRL+ALT+F1 - CTRL+ALT+F7 to get
|
|
the display working in graphical mode again.
|
|
|
|
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.
