When waking up after suspending-on-RAM, I have to switch to a tty (ctrl+alt+F1) and then to the graphical enviroment (ctrl+alt+f7). That's not an issue for me, but when back to the graphical enviroment, the performance is very poor, even the menus take one or two seconds to show up themselves.
Any suggestions on this? Maybe the swap or RAM is still full or there is some KDE process stuck, I don't know.
Thank you. |

In my dv2000 suspend-to-ram works fine if all the below are true
- nvidia binary ( nvidia not nv ) driver is installed
- uswsusp installed
- as root s2ram -f in x (init 5 ), I can't suspend in ttys ( init 1-4 )
it won't work if any of the below is true
- nv driver is used
- suspend with kpowersave
- hence closing the lid will suspend, but won't wake up
I can't remember if powersave -u will work, or not.
if you suspend to ram like me, maybe adding ' Option "NvAGP" "1" ' in xorg.conf http://en.opensuse.org/NVidia_Suspend_H ... able_NvAGP does the trick for you. I've put that line and it works, then I've commented out that line and still works. maybe you'll need it
swap is only used if you suspend to disk and it works fine either with powersave -U or kpowersave. however your swap has to be 1.5 times your memory.
dx000 series are dual cpu so suspend to disk is only worthy if you will leave open windows. otherwise, doing a cold boot and waking up from disk takes pretty much the same time. |

Very good- thank you- now my sound works also with line-out, line-in and microphone on on my Acer Extensa 5210 very well.
I'm happy.

Glad it worked for you
Another issue:
I have experimented that the laptop fan is always at very high speed, even setting in kpowersave "Powersave Mode". This doesn't happen in Windows Vista, as it sounds quiter. Is there any solution to this? I can't imagine myself in the library making this noise :S
Thanks in advance. |

knithx,
Por cierto, en tu primer reply mencionas los keycodes para aumentar y disminuir el volumen. ¿has podido hacer q trabajen? y como?
con lo del fan, solo se me ocurre q tienes q jugar con noapic o apic=off cheatcodes. ¿Se calienta bastante la laptop en sidux? |

Todavía no he trabajado en las keycodes, pero creo que se pueden ajustar fácilmente con xbindkeys. Prueba a instalar ese paquete y me cuentas.
El ventilador, probaré con los cheatcodes que me dices, gracias! |

may I post my sound problem with a new Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop:
sound is HDA-Intel Intel Corp 82801G - the same as posted by Captagon above.
Kde bootet with "sound server informational message: error while initializing sound driver. device default cannot be opened for playback (invalid argument).the sound server will continue using the null output device"
and I had no sound
After a lot of googling I found that this Intel device seems to be very problematic in linux....
Now I have performed the steps suggested by knithx for the 82801H-device and the error message has disappeared, but still no sound....
what else could I try?? |

Updated!
op4latino, the universal script for special laptop keys has been created. Now, everything is working except the Motorola SM56, which is not supported under Linux (Who cares?).
If you have a laptop and you don't know how to set up its special keys, download the .c sourcecode and modify the keycodes and actions linked to them, place it to /usr/bin and link it to /etc/rc3.d/ and /etc/rc5.d/. |
