Subject: please add videodump scriptlet

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: hibernate
Version: 1.94-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I have a new approach for getting suspend to ram working on my p7120
lifebook. Stockholm suggested that simply dumping a file from proc before
suspend and loading it afterwards worked better than using vbetool
(which fails to turn the backlight back on on this laptop). I believe
that the /proc file contains the first part of the video memory, so
loading it resets the video card to the pre-suspend state. Or destroys
your machine, if you're unlucky, but it works well for me. ;-)

I've attached a scriptlet I wrote to do this, and it can be enabled as
follows:

# Dump video card memory. If vbetool doesn't work this just might. Or it
# might hose your machine, so use with caution. Do not enable this
# option and Vbetool at the same time.
EnableVideoDump yes


(PS, is the s2ram -n in the info below supposed to print the help text?)

I don't use this script anymore, since with the modesetting intel driver
in unstable now, hibernation Just Works. Hurrah!

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Turns out I still need this, because while the modesetting driver does
turn the backlight on on resume, it doesn't really do so correctly, as
detailed in bug #420400.

So I still hope to see this patch integrated into hibernate..
