Hi to everyone out in the working world of open source society :) I want to enable s3 suspend resume and suspend to disk functionality on my laptop. I think this will benefit the linux community. Let me first argue about hardware. It is a laptop, sold under Fujitsu Siemens brand by Amilo Pro 2030 name. It is very cheap laptop (around 600 euros in Serbia) in this part of the world - Europe, and therefore it will enable many people of benefiting by using laptops. The model is sold all around the world, so if we succeed in S3, S4 operations many will benefith. Actualy, Laptop is sold with Linux on the live CD and with no operating system preinstalled on the hard disk. Little more hardware facts: VIA Technologies, Inc.

UniChrome Pro IGP Maybe you consider this facts unimportant, but I'm not so much educated in technical sciences. Actually, I'm a law student :) At this point there was some problems with fan control, but I've solved that by replacing DSDT. I have a (K)ubuntu distribution with kernel upgraded at 2.6.18-rc2 and configured for this hardware (hd support (via_sata) is precompiled in kernel - not in module). So, here is the description of suspend / resume problems: 1. S3: System goes into S3 - everything becomes quiet - just power led is blinking - normal. Pressing the power button - to resume - fans start spinning, cd make some noise, there is some activity by hard disk but - keyboard does not react - caps lock pressing does not change led light, pressing wlan hotkey does not change it's led light,hd led is off, screen is off. Power led continues to blink. Only solution is to power off the system by pressing the power button. 2. Suspend to disk: Screen becomes off and system freezes - keyboard is still active. It lasts for few minutes after what I allways turned it off. So, is anyone willing to support me on this? I have no problem in trying to diagnose the problem, but I need someone experienced to guide me.
