My Lenovo X61s fails to resume if I suspend it from within X, on both 2.6.26-rc9 and recent wireless-testing. 2.6.26-rc8 is fine, as is wireless-testing with 4b4f7280 reverted. My in-progress bisect between -rc8 and -rc9 is also consistent with this being the problem.

The symptom is that, when I push the power button to resume, the hard drive light turns on, the fan turns on, then the hard drive light turns off, the sleep light stays on, and the fan keeps running. Sometimes the battery light will blink off very briefly (1/4 sec, maybe) every few seconds. The system is locked hard at this point.

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy userspace.
Well, that's bad.

There is the bugzilla entry at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11064
for this bug and you've just confirmed my suspicion that this particular
commit is to blame.

Can you please see if the appended patch changes anything?
More correctly:

If I suspend by typing pm-suspend or echo mem >/sys/power/state, then it resumes just fine. If I log in to Gnome and push the suspend button, then it does not resume. This seems to be the case with or without your patch.

Is there an Intel graphics in your box?

Yes.


-rc8 and -rc9 with the original patch 4b4f7280 resume fine no matter how I suspend.

That's _really_ strange.

In fact I have only one explanation, which is that the Gnome suspend button
causes some user-space quirks to be applied, which are harmful and break the
resume.  Also, without commit 4b4f7280 those quirks might have not been really
executed.  Peter, does it sound reasonable?

Bingo.  It's a HAL quirk.

Testing from the console (not X):

With 4b4f7280:
# echo mem >/sys/power/state -- works fine

# echo 3 >/proc/sys/kernel/acpi_video_flags
# echo mem >/sys/power state -- fails to resume

Without 4b4f7280:
# echo mem >/sys/power/state -- works fine

# echo 3 >/proc/sys/kernel/acpi_video_flags
# echo mem >/sys/power state -- works fine

So HAL contains an apparently unnecessary quirk for my laptop, and 4b4f7280 breaks that quirk. Of course, it's entirely possible that 4b4f7280 is 100% correct, but that the quirk only worked by accident and 4b4f7280 broke the call into video BIOS.
