[nvidia-glx] s2ram followed by s2disk fails unless VBE posting is disabled

[rez]

On Dell Inspiron E1505 with Nvidia GeForce Go 7300, a s2ram followed by a s2disk causes the screen to flicker endlessly when the system resumes from the s2disk. You have to manually restart the machine in order to bring it to a workable state.

Thank you for your bug report.

rez:
Are you using the nvidia binary drivers? If so could you include the output of
dpkg -l nvidia\* | grep ii
and upload your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
file please?

Setting to needsinfo pending reply from rez.

I confirmed this on a 1505 also with 7300 but only with the nvidia 9755 driver. I think we need to come up with some way to work with nvidia on this issue. See if it's already been reported and link the bug reports.

rez, Ben:
Does using NvAGP "1" as described in Bug #34043 make any difference?

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

[rez (rezwanul-kabir)]

Setting NvAGP "1" does not work.
However, setting SAVE_VBE_STATE=false and POST_VIDEO=false does solve the problem for me..

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

(Ever so slightly related to Bug #14833 . Also mentioned in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend but that also makes mention on NvAGP)

[Jose De la Rosa (jose-de-la-rosa)]

Same workaround for 100.14.19 driver on Gutsy (setting SAVE_VBE_STATE=false and POST_VIDEO=false in /etc/default/acpi-support).

[pauls (paulatgm)]

Should the kernel version be changed to gutsy's?

[Jose De la Rosa (jose-de-la-rosa)]

Works with workaround.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Sergio Zanchetta (primes2h)]

The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life -
http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-7.10-eol . As a result, we are closing the
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 task. It would be helpful if you could test the
new Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release and confirm if this issue remains -
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview. If the issue still exists with the Jaunty
release, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux (Ubuntu)"
task from "Incomplete" to "New". Thanks in advance.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!
