915resolution does not resume from hibernate

[Sean]

Binary package hint: 915resolution

I have an HP Pavilioin dv1000t laptop with 1280x768 resolution supported through 915resolution.

Running the latest Feisty.

When I hibernate the system (works OK) and then resume, the system fails to 1024x768 resolution.

Also, I'm using uswsusp for hibernate because the default did not work for me.

This happens for me also, though I am using an Inspiron 6400 for which the 915resolution was required for my 1280x800 display, which also reverts to 1024x768 after resume from disk. The 915resolution works after non-uswsusp hibernate.

Could you please recheck it with latest Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 or the Live CD? 915 resolution has become obsolete in Gutsy since the new Intel driver is used.

[Sean (ubuntu-seansoria)]

I upgraded last night. The resolution was fine when I had 915resolution installed still (after the upgrade) but it still could not recover after a hibernate with uswsusp (and could not hibernate without uswsusp). I uninstalled 915 because you said it was obsolete. Unfortunately this makes me unable to use 1280x768 resolution.

915resolution isn't needed anymore. Maybe you are still using the old i810 driver (it should be intel). Please attach your current file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'.

I am closing this bug report since 915resolution is obsolete and replaced through the new Intel driver. Please recheck it with current Gutsy which is shipped with the new driver.
Btw. many Intel suspend problems were fixed in the current development version Hardy. Hardy Heron Alpha5 was recently released. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha5 Live CD from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-5/ . General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha5 .
If it still happens open a new bug against xserver-xorg-video-intel.

This bug still exists! I am using hardy and I need 915resolution.

I am still using the older i810 driver. I cannot use the intel driver because it causes my laptop to crash very badly on log out or restart.

here is a fix I used for my 700m laptop:

File: /etc/pm/sleep.d/21_915resolution
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
    hibernate)
        /etc/init.d/915resolution stop
        ;;
    thaw)
        /etc/init.d/915resolution start
        ;;
    *)
        ;;
esac

Permissions: /etc/pm/sleep.d/21_915resolution
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 173 2008-09-02 00:10 /etc/pm/sleep.d/21_915resolution

That should trigger 915resolution before and after hibernate. It fixed the resolution problem for me.
