Sounds reasonable. Maybe I'll take a crack at writing a patch to do that. > Putting a video card into D1 is either going to turn off the output or > do nothing, so I don't think that's terribly compatible with what you > want here.

Actually after looking at some ATI specs it seems that there are several configuration options of exactly what should be powered down in D1 and D2 but the DAC output did not seem to be one of them. It seems to be intended to do things like stop the GPU clocks but otherwise leave the display on. I assumed that the card was in D1 last night while the system was in S1, and the display remained visible. If D1 does stop the DVI output then it must not have been set to D1. How does the PCI core get called when changing state? I would think it would be when suspend_devices_and_enter() calls dpm_suspend_start(PMESG_SUSPEND) but that does not differentiate between S1 and S3, so I would think that currently it would result in placing the device in D3, and that if I remove the PMESG_SUSPEND for PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY that it would result in leaving devices in D0. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
