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.

VBEtool details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(with thanks to Carl-Daniel Hailfinger)
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.
