With legacy graphics setups you'll get a VT switch, but X is entirely unaware that that's due to suspend and that's going away in any case. On a typical setup it's not even the kernel that does the VT switch to and from X - that's handled by a script that happens to be on the runqueue. So yeah, things kind of work as you suggest right now - but only by accident, not design. What you're describing requires a new interface to inform interested bits of userspace whenever you transition from your deep idle state into a less deep one. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
