suspend-to-ram on cl56 doesn't wake up (ubuntu)

Thread Starter 
Hi:

I'm trying to suspend to RAM on my cl56. I have tried doing it by typing sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh and by typing echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep and by trying a bunch of other commands I have seen posted. Everytime, it goes into suspend fine, but when I hit space bar to wake it up, I hear everything spin up but nothing displays on the screen. Same thing happens when I press the power button to come out of suspend - I hear the harddrive spin up but the screen stays blank.

I'm running the newest version of ubuntu and also I'm using the fglrx ATI drivers if that makes a difference.

If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. Thanks, Pinny.

I dont run ubuntu but am in the same boat with a different laptop. I have had great success with suspend2 aka suspend to disk. Its slower but works. You might want to check out this list http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HoaryPMResults

See if you can ssh into the machine after a suspend. If that works, then the problem is the screen is not initialized. I know there is an ati-specific way to make it working, but you can try the way I got my intel integrated working. Download this: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/lapt...0.1-1_i386.deb, install it. Then try and suspend the laptop with this command:

chvt 1 && echo "mem" >> /sys/power/state && video_post && chvt7

Good luck!

hmm I don't know what ssh is but if it helps I am not able to log in from another terminal window - ie: pressing ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't do anything (normally it brings me to tty1).

SSH is a way to remotely access a terminal. apt-get install openssh, or something like that (search the ubuntu forums), and then use putty on a windows machine on the same network to try and log into the machine. Pretty straightforward, actually.
