Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz-gnome

Well, apparently there are several problems in suspend/resume, or it is one bug which comes up under certain timing or other circumstances ...

Since it took me quite a while to try all of the described workarounds, including the internal graphics unit, switching off one CPU for the suspend / resume cycle, different drivers, explicitly shutting down peripherals, etc. ... I want to share the solution I found:

ATI card with the propietary fglrx driver, compiz / special effects: OFF

Everything else hung the machine on suspend, or a little bit afterwards.

Have fun.

I can confirm the suspend/resume problem on ThinkPad W500 using 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. The system successfully suspends (to disk and to RAM), but resume does not work. On resume, the display always remains dark. Usually, the system seems to hang in this case, but sometimes it still accepts keyboard input and allows for shutdown.

The only way I found to avoid these problems is to turn off compiz. Without compiz, suspend/resume work.

Can't try this with the life CD, since compiz requires fglrx driver install + reboot. Since I am traveling and need the machine, can't install the beta either right now ... thanks for your work! Hans

I am running Jaunty release with W500 with fglrx driver. I see the same issue.
