suse 10.1 not suspending to ram.

[marchetto]

How can I see if my GeForce440 MX can suspend to RAM?

usually if you go logoff user --> suspend (hold mouse button down) --> to ram. I dunno the CLI command but if someone has that it would be nice to know as atm i'm suspending my system from x and it's crashing. That's part of the reason i'm resigned to failiure.

check your BIOS setings: you may have S4 set by default. If you need suspend-to-ram, you should set this to S3

Please have a look at my entry at http://en.opensuse.org/NVidia_Suspend_HOWTO.

from your howto:
"# blacklist agp module
blacklist intel_agp"

The above is correct only for the modules, not in the case when AGP(GART) is built by default in the kernel. AGPGART will prevent NvAGP from loading even if you set NvAGP "1"
In other words, this will work only with some, not all mobos.
This is why blacklisting does not work in general

ok so here we are 6 months on and still no where. i hadn't had time to look this till today and it seems that s2ram is a no go but s2disk works from the cli. for more info check this link:

i've tried everything i can find that could fit into suse 10.2.

any one got any ideas. i'm lost with this and seems like it's very specific

I don't use it really...

but doesn't work here too...


SuSE 10.2 latest 9631 legacy nvidia driver for geforce4 mx 440 SE

did abit more research into this and it seems it's a bug in the driver that has come back to haunt us. otherwise this is great. i get a great framerate from cs:s in cedega and cs for that matter. kde effects run fast and smooth (apart from a couple of bugs with kde it'self)

ahh well nvm. not like i used it much anyway ,even in widnows, i tend to have it doing something all the time, from d/ling to encoding dvd video, to backups (they take ages on this thing coz it has two comps to do at once)
